Sergio Cabrera is Professor in Photobiology in the Cellular Biology Program of Biomedical Sciences Institute, Faculty of Medicine University of Chile, Santiago, Chile. He has developed experimental UV research programmes in Antarctica, and in high mountain Andean lakes. His major interest is to improve understanding of the positive and negative effects of UV radiation on living organisms, especially on human health. He is editor of the book "Radiación Ultravioleta y Salud" Ed. Universitaria (2005).
