On February 3, Shepherd University, home to the Center of Excellence for Photobiomodulation, welcomed Australian researchers Ann Liebert and Brian Bicknell. Their visit aimed to educate the student body and local community about the promising applications of light therapy, particularly its potential for treating neurological and microbiome-related disorders. This initiative aligns with ongoing efforts in nearby towns to advance healthcare education and innovation, showcasing the university's role as a leader in this experimental field. The researchers emphasized PBM's ability to enhance health spans rather than just lifespan, marking a significant step for students in Ranson and Charles Town interested in medical research.
