Lionel Milgrom

Lionel R. Milgrom is a British chemist and homeopath. He is a former faculty member at Imperial College London,[1] and a former senior lecturer in inorganic chemistry at Brunel University.[2] He worked as a chemist with expertise in porphyrins for more than twenty years,[3] after which he trained in homeopathy because he was impressed at how effective homeopathy appeared to be for treating his partner's pneumonia.[1] Milgrom is also the founder of the company PhotoBiotics, a spinoff from Imperial College London, which pioneers a form of light-activated targeted cancer therapy.[4][5] He has claimed that quantum entanglement explains how homeopathy works, a claim that has been criticized as "patent nonsense" by Chad Orzel.[6] He has criticized those who criticize homeopathy as "new fundamentalists" and accused them of "demean[ing] science".[7]
