Bioelectromagnetics

Bioelectromagnetics is a field of science dedicated to study of the biological effects of relatively weak non-ionising electromagnetic fields (here are some useful links 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) . It may cover also endogenous electromagnetic fields stemming from organisms themselves (as postulated by Fröhlich and later elaborated by the Italian group, gathered around prof. Emilio del Giudice and experimentally researched by the Czech group led by prof. Pokorny etc.). Because of an increasing electromagnetic pollution this scientific field is getting larger and larger attention. In spite of countless researches only a small part of possible mechanisms of the biological effects is known; there is still much to be examined and known.

In our research we are dedicated to biological circumstances and mechanisms which can contribute to the effects of weak electric and magnetic fields especially to the physiological state of organisms subject to some  environmental stress. Our past research included:
 
Extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields and Gonyaulax bioluminescence
algae
Effects of weak electromagnetic fields on plants in tissue culture
Effects of weak electromagnetic fields on fungi in tissue culture
Effects of weak EMF on germinating plants

The knowledge was also used  in applicative research.
