Photobiology and nutrition
The Manchester Photobiology Unit was established in 2000 with the appointment of Prof Lesley Rhodes. Our research activity within skin photobiology is broad and encompasses particular interests in systemic photoprotection, the risk-benefits of vitamin D production, mechanistic aspects of phototherapy and photodynamic therapy and the photopathogenesis of the photodermatoses.
