The 4th Annual Conference of BioEM will take place next June 22-27 in Rennes, France. Worldwide EMF experts gather annually in a conference organised by the BioEM society. NextGEM partners will again play an important role during BioEM 2025. The consortium’s partners will present 3 oral presentations, host 2 oral sessions, show 7 posters, and participate in 2 workshops. See all participations here!

Oral sessions:
- Joshua Ziegler (IMBEI, with the collaboration of IARC, BFS, FORTH, and RIVM): Umbrella review of RF-EMF exposure from far-field sources and cancer in humans
- Thanks to this abstract, Joshua Ziegler obtained the Alexandre Legros award.
- Olga Zeni (CNR): Biological effects of 5G radiofrequency exposure at 26.5 GHz in a human keratinocyte cell model
- Derek Land (THUAS): Low Cost SDRs for RF EMF Exposure Measurements
- With Erdal Korkmaz, Sam Aerts, & John Bolte as co-authors
- Additionally, two partners will be Oral Session hosts:
- Olga Zeni will host the 8th Oral Session: Advances in Electromagnetic Stimulation for Neural and Clinical Research
- Stefania Romeo will co-host the 15th Oral Session: Computational and Theoretical Insights into EMF Interaction Mechanisms
Posters:
- Olga Zeni – Radiofrequency, LTE signal exposure does not alter cancer-related endpoints in human neuroblastoma cell model either alone, or in combination with WiFi signal or menadione
- Stefania Romeo (CNR) – A multi-physics analysis of electroporation phenomenon in A375 human melanoma cells: an in vitro and computational study
- Maryse Ledent (SC) – Electromagnetic field sensitivity, symptoms and perceived health: a mediation and moderation analysis
- Fulvio Schettino (UCAS) – A novel RF exposure system for live cell imaging in real time under confocal microscopy: a preliminary design
- Seppe Segers (SC) – A whole-transcriptome approach to determine the effects of 5G-modulated RF-EMF exposure in keratinocytes
- Maryse Ledent (SC) – Moderating effect of sensory processing sensitivity on the relationship of electrohypersensitivity on anxiety and depressive disorders
- Marco Spirito (TUD) – Reduction of body effect RF EMF sensor with back reflector
Workshops:
- Sam Aerts (THUAS): EMF exposure in telecom networks: past, present, and future, during the 3rd Tutorial session (5G Exposure assessment)
- Additionally, alongside Rosa Orlacchio, Dr. Aerts will be the proposer of the 5th Workshop of BioEM: Innovative Applications of Electromagnetics: BioEM Young Scientists Leading the Way
About BioEM
BioEM “was established in 2021 [and] is an independent organization of biological and physical scientists, physicians and engineers interested in the interactions of electromagnetic fields with biological systems. BioEM is an international society with members from approximately 40 different countries and regions around the world”, says its website. They organise annually “the largest and most significant international conference worldwide in the area of bioelectromagnetics”. NextGEM partners have participated on its conferences since its first edition in 2022.
