A tribute to Prof. Miguel Angel Miranda

Professor M. A. Miranda (1952–2025) was a leading figure in photochemistry, internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to mechanistic photochemistry and photobiology, particularly in elucidating drug-induced photoactivation processes in biomolecules. His work bridged fundamental excited-state chemistry with photobiological outcomes, including photoirritation, photogenotoxicity, and photoallergy, shaping the field at both conceptual and translational levels.
