Question: What kind of skin diseases do you use light to cure? Do you enjoy your job and is it rewarding?

I do most of my research on photodynamic therapy, which is used to treat non-melanoma skin cancers, but the clinic I work with also treat things like psoriasis and porphyria. It is rewarding because I am working towards technologies that can have a positive effect on peoples health, and it’s really interesting so I enjoy it a lot!
