Group with extensive experience in the study of the interaction of living beings with non-ionizing radiation. One of the research lines of the group is the study of the molecular basis of physical therapies based on the use of RF and ELF electromagnetic radiation. Currently, the study of radiation in the visible light and ultraviolet range is another of the lines of research of the Photobiology and Bioelectromagnetism Unit, and in this sense, projects related to photoprotection, photobiomodulation and phototherapy are being developed.
