“Researchers in Europe were able to demonstrate that biological cells produce RF in the gigahertz range, which is what your radio or your cellphone works at,” said UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine biologist Dimitri Deheyn, the project’s lead investigator. “Those discoveries were made in cells that are cultured in petri dishes, and so the big question that the RadioBio program wants to assess and that we will try to answer through this grant is: Are such frequencies biologically relevant? Can we measure them from organisms?”
