The coordinators of Project GOLIAT, Mònica Guxens and Gemma Castaño, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), have traveled to France to learn about the work of the French laboratories involved in the project.
In Toulouse, the GOLIAT coordinators visited the IPBS Cellullar Biophysics team, led by Marie-Pierre Rols. This research group participates in the work package 5, whose respective objectives are to assess the biological effects, specifically radical stress, when cells are exposed to 5G.
In the city of Bordeaux, they visited the facilities of IMS Laboratory, where the teams led by Yann Percherancier and Isabelle Lagroye showed them the work they carry out in work packages 4 and 5. The meeting was attended by Philippe Leveque, a researcher involved in GOLIAT from the XLIM Research Institute, and Bruno Bontempi, from the Department of Neuroscience at Bordeaux University. They study the effects of 5G in different biological endpoints such as thermoregulation, radical stress and behavioral and cognitive effects. Experiments will be done both in cells and rodents.
In Paris, they visited the Paris Brain Institute, where INERIS researcher Brahim Selmaoui showed them the progress made in work package 4, which aims to assess the possible biological and neuropsychological effects of exposure to 5G in humans.
