About UW-Milwaukee Photomedicine Laboratory
The UW-Milwaukee Photomedicine Laboratory, directed by Professor Janis T. Eells, PhD, is a pioneering academic research facility at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee's College of Health Sciences. Located on the UWM campus in Milwaukee, the lab stands at the forefront of photobiomodulation science — the therapeutic use of far-red and near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate cellular repair and combat mitochondrial dysfunction. Unlike commercial red light therapy studios, the UWM Photomedicine Laboratory is a clinical research environment where groundbreaking studies on photobiomodulation are conducted and validated. Dr. Eells and her team have pioneered investigations into how low-level light therapy can protect and restore retinal tissue in degenerative conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa and diabetic retinopathy. The lab's published research has also documented therapeutic benefits in Parkinson's disease models, diabetes mellitus, and traumatic brain injury recovery — establishing UWM as a nationally recognized center for photomedicine research. The laboratory operates within the Biomedical Sciences department and maintains collaborative ties with the Milwaukee Institute for Drug Discovery and multiple international research institutions. Studies conducted here have been instrumental in building the scientific evidence base that supports the use of red and near-infrared light therapy in clinical and consumer settings today. For researchers, clinicians, and patients seeking evidence-based photobiomodulation interventions, the UWM Photomedicine Laboratory represents one of the most credible sources of expertise in the Milwaukee region. The lab is not a walk-in treatment facility; rather, it serves as the academic backbone of photomedicine in Wisconsin, regularly publishing peer-reviewed findings and training the next generation of photomedicine scientists. Individuals interested in research participation or scientific consultation can contact the lab through the UWM Department of Biomedical Sciences.
