Dr. Paolo Cassano is assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Director of Photobiomodulation at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Depression and Clinical Research Program and Principal Investigator at the MGH Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders.Since 2009, Dr. Cassano has led multiple studies on transcranial photobiomodulation with near-infrared light for anxiety and mood disorders, including translational studies aimed at discovering the mechanisms of action of photobiomodulation. His translational studies have focused on the effects of near-infrared light on mitochondria, cerebral blood flow (DCS), on brain electrical activity (EEG) and on autonomic reactivity (HRV). For his studies on photobiomodulation, he was awarded competitive, national grants such as the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation NARSAD.These groundbreaking projects have demonstrated preliminary efficacy of near-infrared light for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Considerable press attention stemmed from these studies, with CNN, Washington Post and Boston Globe coverage at the national level. He has coauthored more than 50 publications and he is the Associated Editor of Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery.https://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/19402/Paolo-Cassanohttps://giving.massgeneral.org/infrared-light-depression-research/https://niraxx.com/https://medium.com/@pcassanohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paolo-cassano-md-phd/https://twitter.com/paolo_cassanohttps://www.instagram.com/paolocassanomd/Parties involved have authorized disclosure
