Richard Saunders graduated from the School of Biological
Sciences at Birmingham University in 1969 and
received a PhD in Zoology and Comparative Physiology
in 1973. He then worked briefly at the Institute
of Human Physiology, Milan University, Italy,
and at the Neurocommunications Research Unit,
Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. In 1975
he joined the National Radiological Protection
Board. He now heads the Non-Ionising Radiation
Effects Group at the Radiation Protection Division
of the United Kingdom Health Protection Agency.
His main research interests are in the biological
effects of EMFs and, more recently, in the biological
effects of ultraviolet radiation. In 2004, he
spent a sabbatical year working for the WHO EMF
Project in Geneva, Switzerland, and has been a
member of several WHO EMF Environmental Health
Criteria Task Groups. He has been a member of
a number of national and international EMF advisory groups and has served ICNIRP SCII since 1998 and
the ICNIRP Commission since October 2006. |

Dr. B. Veyret
ENS de Chimie
et de Physique
Bordeaux, France
b.veyret@piom.u-bordeaux.fr |
Bernard Veyret graduated in Physics at the College of
Industrial Physics and Chemistry in Paris in 1975.
The main topics which he has addressed recently
concern the effects of pulsed low-power microwaves
on the immune system of mice; the effects of strong
pulsed magnetic fields on the proliferation of
tumour cells in culture; and on the growth of
tumours in vivo. He is currently investigating
the effects of mobile telephones on biological
systems. He has also investigated the effects
of microwaves on plants and seeds in co-operation
with the French Space Agency and has written several
articles on the bioeffects of electromagnetic
fields. Dr. Veyret was one of the founders of
the European Bioelectromagnetics Association (EBEA)
in 1989 and is now Director of Research at the
Wave-Matter Interactions Laboratory at the University
of Bordeaux and Head of the Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory of L'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes.
He has been an ICNIRP member since May 2000. |

Dr. J. Juutilainen
University of Kuopio,
Finland
jukka.juutilainen@uku.fi |
Jukka Juutilainen is a Professor of Radiation Biology and
Radiation Epidemiology at the Department of Environmental
Sciences of the University of Kuopio, Finland.
He has worked as an Associate Editor for Electro-
and Magnetobiology in 1993-1997 and for Bioelectromagnetics
in 1998-2001. His research and teaching cover
adverse health effects and risk assessment of
radiation (both non-ionizing and ionizing). His
team conducts multidisciplinary research using
all approaches from epidemiology and exposure
assessment to cell and molecular biology. The
main research areas have been assessment of possible
developmental and carcinogenic effects of low
frequency and RF electromagnetic fields, and combined
effects with known carcinogenic/genotoxic factors
such as UV or ionizing radiation. |

Junji Miyakoshi graduated from the Graduate School of Medicine,
Osaka City University and received a PhD (Anatomy)
in 1982. He has worked as an Associate Professor
of Radiation Genetics, Graduate School of Medicine,
Kyoto University, in 1996-2002. Since 2002 he
is Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Hirosaki
University, Japan. His main interest is in the
molecular and cellular biological effects of static,
ELF and RF electromagnetic fields and/or ionizing
radiation. He has written over 100 papers in peer
reviewed journals. He was a Working Group Member
of IARC for the risk assessment of ELF electromagnetic
fields in 2002, and was a Task Group Member of
WHO for the ELF Environmental Health Criteria
(EHC) in 2005. He also worked as a Board Member
of the Bioelectromagnetic Society in 2003-2005.
He has been serving ICNIRP SCII since November
2006.

Dr. R. de Seze
INERIS, France
Rene.De-Seze@ineris.fr |
René de Seze received his PhD in "Sciences de
la Vie" in 1991 from the University at Bordeaux II, France. After some years at the Radiology
Department and the Medical School of Nîmes,
University of Montpellier 1, he is currently
researcher at the National Institute of Industrial
Environment and Risks (INERIS) in Verneuil en
Halatte near Paris. He brought there his experience
on health impact of electromagnetic fields and
continues to manage studies on this topics in
the department of chronic risks, toxicology unit.
He is particularly involved in studies on effects
on the nervous system of mobile phones in animals
and in humans, and develops in vivo and in vitro
models for neurotoxicology. He served as member
or secretary of some national (SFRP), European
(EBEA) and international (BEMS) organisations
which are working on bioelectromagnetics. He has
been serving ICNIRP SCII since May 2000. |

Thomas Tenforde received his B.A. in physics from Harvard
University and his PhD in biophysics from the
University of California at Berkeley. He was elected
as President of the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements in April, 2002. Previously,
he was a Senior Chief Scientist at the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory. Areas in which
Dr. Tenforde has conducted research include the
