Prix Nobel de physiologie ou médecine en 1903, pour sa découverte des vertus curatives de la lumière et en particulier pour le traitement du lupus vulgaire. Alors qu'il est encore étudiant en médecine (1882-1890) à Copenhague, Finsen souffre des premiers symptômes d'une maladie très grave et longue, la maladie de Pick, qui atteint progressivement les organes vitaux (1883). Anémié, très fatigué et partiellement invalide, Finsen a l'intuition que l'exposition à la lumière du soleil lui serait bénéfique ; commencent alors ses recherches (1888) sur les causes physiologiques des effets de la lumière.  Au prix d'un travail acharné, conduit de manière méthodique, il montre que la lumière est composée de différents types de radiations, dont les « rayons chimiques », appelés aujourd'hui ultraviolets.

Technology Niels Ryberg Finsen Scientist: Niels Ryberg Finsen Home Library Science Dictionary of Scientists Danish physician (1860–1904) Finsen, the son of a leading civil servant, was born at Thorshavn on the Faeroe Islands , which are part of Denmark; he was educated in Reykjavik and at the University of Copenhagen, where he qualified as a physician in 1890. After teaching anatomy for some time Finsen founded (1895) the Institute of Phototherapy, which he directed until his early death at the age of 43. In the 1890s, following up some earlier work suggesting that light had the ability to kill bacteria, Finsen began a systematic appraisal of its therapeutic effects. Arguing that it was light, acting slowly and weakly , rather than heat that was effective, he devised various filters and lenses to separate and concentrate the different components of sunlight. He found that it was the short ultraviolet rays, either natural or artificial, that turned out to have the greatest bactericidal power.

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Finsen, Niels Ryberg (b. phototherapy (the treatment of disease by the influence of light), who received the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the application of light in the treatment of skin diseases. While a student at the University of Copenhagen (M.D., 1890), Finsen became interested in the effects of light on living organisms and in 1893 found that lengthy exposure of smallpox sufferers to the red light formed by exclusion of the violet end of the spectrum prevents the suppuration of the pustules, or formation of characteristic pockmarks. Aware of the bacteria-destroying effects of sunlight, he developed an ultraviolet treatment for lupus vulgaris, a form of skin tuberculosis, which met with great success. Although phototherapy has largely been superseded by other forms of radiation and drug therapy, Finsen's work did much to encourage the radiation therapy then being developed and led to the use of ultraviolet sterilization techniques in bacteriological research. Finsen's Medical Light Institute (now the Finsen Institute) was founded in Copenhagen in 1896. Related Propaedia Topics: The skin
