Towards optopharmacology or therapeutic molecules regulated by light   
      
   "This first breakthrough will allow us to generate the same kind of peptides   
   for chemical-medical applications," says Giralt. Dr. Gorostiza was the person   
   who came up with the idea of manipulating biological and pharmacological   
   processes through the use    
   of light after spending five years specializing in this field at the   
   University of California in Berkeley. The coordinator of the ERC Starting   
   Grant project "OpticalBullet" and of the ERC Proof of Concept "Theralight",   
   both involving collaboration with    
   Giralt's lab, explains that, "the most immediate therapeutic applications we   
   can expect is for diseases affecting superficial tissue such as the skin, the   
   retina and the most external mucosal membranes."
