The continuously increasing public concern about the so-called non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, made us deal with this topic taking advantage of our quarter of a century research.
Our MissionDistant learning is a key aspect of modern educational approaches. For the last four years we have been trying to implement such activities broadcasting and making available "ON DEMAND" many courses given by members of our teaching group and stuff members of the Dept. of Biology in the University of Athens. For these purposes we maintain three web servers and five multimedia servers using Microsoft's Windows 2003 enterprise platform. Thus we hope to provide the academic community, mainly the students, with up to date information on subjects related to the Biological and Biomedical Sciences. Multimedia lab ProfileWe are members of the Dept of Cell Biology and Biophysics in the Faculty of Biology at the University of Athens and have created an unofficial "multimedia and e-learning laboratory". Our interests for the last 10 years on every aspect of multimedia applications, allowed us to develop Microsoft-based media servers and encoders in order to broadcast live and on demand several undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Biology. Electromagnetic Biology lab ProfileStarting on 1972, L.H. Margaritis was studying the effects of ultraviolet radiation on the structure and function of amphibian and mammalian cornea. Our current research extends to the effects of mobile phone radiation on experimental animals and cell cultures. At the same time we are testing the electromagnetic field intensity in the vicinity of mast antennas especially inside houses. Our final goal is to inform the public about the real dangers from the electromagnetic radiation contrary to "safety levels" suggested by the world health organization and adopted by many, but not by all, countries.
The results of a diploma Thesis students' survey, presented at the annual Biological Society meeting in Karpenisi, May 20 2010, has shown the existence of the "lectures on demand" are indispensable part of the educational process and the successful preparation for the semester exams
The members of our teams, both the multimedia and the bioelectromagnetics are dedicated Doctorate and diploma Thesis students who are doing their best to have both programs running successfully. Contact Information
