COST Action MyWAVE co-organised the 9th International School of Bioelectromagnetism “Alessandro Chiabrera” with the European BioElectromagnetics Association (EBEA).
“Possible Biomedical Applications of Electromagnetic Fields to cancer: from biology and in silico to clinical perspectives”
This training school was co-organised with the following goals:
The topics discussed during this training school were the following:
- PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF EMF – EMF spectrum and general properties – Ferdinando Bersani, ELF generation and dosimetry – Stefania Romeo (Italy), RF generation and dosimetry – Rita Massa (Italy), Thermal and non-thermal effects of ELF and RF – Stefania Romeo (Italy)
- BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EMF IN RELATION TO CANCER – Introduction to biology of cancer – Maja Cemazar (Slovenia).
- Biological effects in vitro & in vivo – Static and ELF fields – Mats Olof Mattsson (Sweden), High frequency EMF – Maria Rosaria Scarfì (Italy), Static and ELF fields – Isabelle Lagroye (France), High frequency EMF – Isabelle Lagroye (France), What is learnt from epidemiology- Anke Huss (the Netherlands).
