Lew Lim and his colleagues invented intranasal light therapy (or “photobiomodulation”) as a non-invasive method to introduce therapeutic photonic energy into the human body in California in 1995. The research and development continued under MedicLights Research Inc in the 2000’s before Vielight Inc was founded to commercialize the invention.

The research data in the field of photomedicine is growing and promising. However, photomedicine requires science combined with engineering creativity to make it accessible for use in everyday life.

Ontario light therapy clinical trial aims to accelerate recovery from COVID-19

Director of Special Projects

Attaining our goal of helping people through photobiomodulation would not be possible without the right people. That is why Vielight have gathered many bright minds from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds to continuously improve the efficacy of brain and systemic photobiomodulation technology. 

We'd like to introduce one of our research team members: Dr. Nazanin Hosseinkhah, PhD.
 
Dr. Hosseinkhah (or Naz), is a physicist by training, with a Master's degree in Optics, and a PhD in Medical Biophysics from the University of Toronto. As she says it herself, as a biophysicist, she was intrigued by photobiomodulation and joined Vielight to discover how light energy could be used to positively impact the brain and the body.
 
Since joining Vielight several years ago, Dr Hosseinkhah's responsibilities in the company have expanded. She fulfills a number of important roles, such as managing research projects. Some of these projects are our COVID-19 clinical trial, which she has been leading for the past two years, as well as collaborative research with the University of Alberta and Baycrest Hospital.
