Roeland Van Wijk: Light in Shaping Life

Roeland Van Wijk: Light in Shaping Life

Author: Cameron Borg May 11, 2025 Duration: 1:41:40

Roeland Van Wijk, PhD, is a world leader in the field of biophotons. He has a background in biology and is specialised in physical science (biophysical chemistry). He was affiliated as Associate Professor in Molecular Cell Biology at the Utrecht University until his retirement. Roeland worked closely with many pioneers including Fritz Popp and Mae-Wan Ho as they uncovered unsurpassed insights into the nature of the coherent energy fields associated with biological systems; particularly photonic fields. His background and experience is extremely broad, with a deep understanding of biological water, the extracellular matrix and quantum biology. His seminal work, “Light in Shaping Life: Biophotons in Biology & Medicine (2014)” remains the most comprehensive historical introduction in biophoton research.

Biophotons are spontaneous emissions of light that originate from reactive oxygen species, particularly in the mitochondria. These emissions are a substrate for cellular and subcellular communication as well as vital energetic inputs within the body, serving to imbue surrounding molecules with quantised energy.
