A preeminent German physicist, Fritz-Albert Popp has conducted research that confirms the existence of biophotons. These particles of light, with no mass, transmit information within and between cells. His work shows that DNA in a living cell stores and releases photons creating "biophotonic emissions" that may hold the key to illness and health.
Popp’s biophoton research led to international projects with scientists such as Walter Nagl, Ilya Prigogine and David Bohm. He became an Invited Member of the New York Academy of Sciences and an Invited Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RANS). He worked at Princeton University and serves as president of Worms Academy of Reformative Medicine and executive board member of Center for Frontier Sciences at Temple University in Philadelphia.
In 1996, Popp founded the International Institute of Biophysics in Neuss, Germany. It is a worldwide network of biologists, chemists, medical researchers, physicists and other scientists at 14 universities and governmental research institutes. As vice president of the IIB, Popp facilitates research among the groups, focusing on coherence in biology, biophotonics and biocommunication.
He holds a degree in experimental physics from University of Würzburg, where he received the Röntgen-Prize. Popp earned his PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Mainz, and later became a professor at Marburg University. Popp’s eight books and more than 150 scientific journal articles and studies address basic questions of theoretical physics, biology, complementary medicine and biophotons.
