’70’

This January, I turned 70. It is a good moment for a quick look back, at my years of research on wireless radiation and health.

It began in 1996 when I was asked to participate in writing a report on what is known about wireless radiation and its effects on health. The report was published in 1999. It was (the most) frequently quoted source in the first edition of the British Stewart Report.

The most ‘famous’ one was my first research paper on wireless radiation effects on cellular stress response, published in 2002, which has made headlines in major news outlets. This was followed by years of publishing new studies and presenting research at numerous conferences.

Disappointingly and unexpectedly, in 2013, my research laboratory and research projects were shut down, as my institution wanted to save money due to governmental (shortsighted and unwise) clamp on research funding.

Since January 2014, I have worked freelance, lecturing worldwide and publishing in peer-reviewed journals. My newest manuscript is in peer review as we speak.

Below is the list of my and my co-authors publications on wireless radiation and health, with links to EMF-Portal database.
