Reasearch project inside the BBEMG
Meeting of people self-proclamed as "hypersensitive" to electricity (subjects suffering from disorders that they believe to be associated with exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields) in order to :
- better describe and characterise this phenomenon,
- delineate factors playing a role in this sensitivity,
- assess the detection capacities by exposures to magnetic fields, and
- jointly seek solutions for a better management of this problem (clinical research part).
Other topics:
- Neurobiology of Mood Disorders.
- Andropause.

Reasearch project inside the BBEMG:
in vitro and in vivo investigations to obtain data that may or may not support the alleged association with ELF-magnetic field exposure.
Other topics:
- Assessment of the dangers and health risks associated with chemical substances and non-ionising radiation.
- Development of test methods for in vitro toxicology and for determining the genotoxic properties of chemical substances, non-ionising radiations, nanomaterials and new foodstuffs.
- Monitoring of the quality of the environment and of public health.
