| Omics for Assessing Unclear Risks - International Workshop | May 26, 2008 | May 26-28, 2008, Berlin, Germany, dbb-forum.
The aim of this international workshop is to explore the potential of omics technologies for assessing unclear cancer risks. This will be done with the example of the effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF). In this regard this workshop will update the results of a former meeting in Helsinki 2005 (http://www.cost281.org/documents.php?node=99&dir_session=).
If you are interested to participate, please send an email to: haberland@fgf.de.

| 2008 Gordon conference in Bioelectrochemistry | July 20, 2008 | July 20-25, 2008. University of New England Biddeford, ME.
Bioelectrical control of cells and tissues: its potential for novel clinical therapies
The conference will focus on electric field interactions with cells, from the scale of tissue and whole cell behaviour to the molecular and nanoscale processes underpinning electrical effects. Sessions will emphasize the latest advances in understanding of the biology and biophysics of electric field interactions with cells, with contributions from dynamic speakers and discussion leaders from the international scientific community and industry.

| UNESCO/ONRG Seminar "Electromagnetic Fields: Mechanisms of action and potential threat as a terrorism agent" | November 3, 2008 | There is more and more use of electricity and RF communication frequencies in both civilian life and for military purposes. The clarification of cellular and molecular mechanisms of their biological effects is extremely important in order to rationally evaluate their harmful effects from the point of public health. Moreover, the possibility to using EMF-induced modulations makes EMF potentially a powerful instrument for environmental terror. The most obvious danger is use of electromagnetic pulses to disrupt communication. However EMF also pose direct threats to human health through mechanisms that are poorly understood. These involve different physical and chemical factors, as well as multiple effects on biological systems including humans. Therefore, this problem is an appropriate and important subject for consideration under the Environmental Antiterrorism Program.
The primary goal of the proposed Workshop is to conduct a multidisciplinary discussion of the data obtained by different laboratories on the mechanisms whereby EMF of various frequencies alter function of physical and biological systems, what are the public health implications of these actions, and what are the dangers and potential of use of EMF as a terrorist weapon.
