Environment Infoday FP7-ENV-2011 July 13, 2009 The Team • Laboratory of Cell Biology, Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology, University of Latvia • Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Nanotechnologies, • Centre of Electromagnetic Compatibility and Safety, Riga Technical University Topic: ENV.2011.1.2.2-2 Exposure to electro-magnetic fields (EMF): investigations of mechanisms to support risk assessment and reduce uncertainty Proposal from Latvia Yeast cells will be used as a model of human organism cells. • Yeast cells will be cultivated in the conditions of extremely low frequency magnetic fields and then will be subjected to physiological, cytological, biochemical, biophysical tests and physical nano scale measurements. • Irradiation of yeast cells will be provided in the room that is screened from external electromagnetic radiation. • Different state-of-the-art biological and biophysical equipment including transmission and scanning electron microscopes, atom force microscopes, RT PCR and others will be used in the study. Laboratory of Cell Biology, Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology, University of Latvia Expertise and Experience - Cytology and physiology of microorganisms - Yeast biology - Investigations of extreme treatments upon microorganisms - Аnhydrobiosis (anabiosis) of microorganisms - Dehydration (conservation) of microorganisms - Immobilization of microorganisms - Sorption activity of yeast cells - Environmental Protection and Remediation Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Nanotechnologies, Riga Technical University Research is directed to characterization of the micro and nano objects by means of weak energy prethreshold electron spectroscopy. Participated and coordinated several international and European projects. Centre of Electromagnetic Compatibility and Safety, Riga Technical University Expertise on generation and measurement of weak electromagnetic radiation. Equipped with electromagnetic radiation generators in a laboratory screened from external electromagnetic radiation sources. Thank you for your attention!
