Characterisation of effects of non-ionising radiation on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism This project will investigate cellular responses to non-ionising radiation in a model organism, the flatworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The results could provide a scientific basis for the development of EMF biosensing systems that could assist the authorities in defining safer exposure limits.

Effects on electromagnetic fields in vitro and in vivo: Identification and characterisation of stress-response pathways The focus of this research project is to study how cells and simple organisms respond to stress-like radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF). The major goal is to identify the key players in the stress-response signalling pathways that may be involved in the RF EMF response.

Genotoxic effects of non-ionising radiation It has been reported that human cells exposed to electromagnetic fields suffer damage to their DNA, the carrier of all genetic information. This research project is designed to uncover the molecular and cellular processes involved and to address the biological consequences of this genotoxicity.
