What if light could do more than illuminate—what if it could heal?
In the latest episode of the Excellenceair podcast, we talk with Dr. Dorota Chełminiak-Dudkiewicz from the Faculty of Chemistry at Nicolaus Copernicus University about photodynamic therapies, the fight against bacteria, and innovative biomaterials that support wound healing.
How does light become a therapeutic tool? Could it outperform traditional antibiotics? How does chemistry help design smart wound dressings that eliminate bacteria without harming healthy tissue?
We also explore the importance of interdisciplinary and international collaboration, scientific research, grant funding, and how researchers navigate setbacks along the way.
Tune in to “Lights On, Bacteria Gone”—a conversation about the chemistry that harnesses light to develop the therapies of tomorrow.
