Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on both how light can damage the skin, and phototherapy, using light to treat skin conditions. The journal provides a forum for original articles, reviews, communications and letters about the direct and distant effects of electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, visible and infrared) mediated through skin. Original articles may include the investigation of experimental or pathological processes in humans or animals in vivo, or the investigation of radiation effects in cells or tissues in vitro. All contemporary physiologic, microscopic, and biochemical methodologies are welcomed.
New Editor in Chief
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Cheng-Che Eric Lan has been appointed as the new Editor in Chief for Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine.
