Lionel Milgrom

Lionel R. Milgrom is a British chemist and homeopath who has been accused of being a proponent of pseudoscience.[1] He is a former faculty member at Imperial College London,[2] and a former senior lecturer in inorganic chemistry at Brunel University.[3] He worked as a chemist with expertise in porphyrins for more than twenty years,[4] after which he trained in homeopathy because he was impressed at how effective homeopathy appeared to be for treating his partner's pneumonia.[2] 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.[5][6] He has claimed that quantum entanglement explains how homeopathy works, a claim that has been criticized as "patent nonsense" by Chad Orzel.[7] He has criticized those who criticize homeopathy as "new fundamentalists" and accused them of "demean[ing] science".[8]
