Research interests

René de SEZE, MD, PhD has a background in physics and specialized in radiology (MRI). His research interests address the biological effects of electromagnetic fields. His doctoral research on the effects of microwaves on the murine immune system was performed in the Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory of Bernard Veyret in Bordeaux. He also looked at the therapeutic effects of magnetic fields on cancer in mice and rats. He then moved to the Medical Biophysics Department at the Medical School of Montpellier-Nîmes. He conducted studies on health risks of mobile phones: in human laboratory studies, on the endocrine system, on the auditory function, on neurophysiology and cognitive performances, on heat exchanges from the phone and/or the radiofrequency (RF) exposure; on the nervous system of rats.

Rene de SEZE is now researcher at the National Institute of Industrial Environment and RISks (INERIS) in Verneuil en Halatte close to Paris. He developed there his experience on health impact of electromagnetic fields and continues to manage studies on this topic in the department of chronic risks, toxicology unit. He is involved in studies on effects of RF on thermoregulation in rodents.

He is the President-elect of the Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS), member of the Société Française de Radioprotection (SFRP) and has been President of the European Bioelectromagnetics Association (EBEA).
