EMF2009 Conference 17. November 2009 Stavanger Norway Carl F. BlackmanCarl F. Blackman (USA), PhD, received his doctorate in Biophysics in 1969, performed post-doctoral training at Brookhaven National Laboratory (1969-1970), and joined the EPA in 1970. He studied the complexities of electric and magnetic field interactions with biological systems (1970-1998, which included support from US DOE 1989-1998). He now performs research to examine molecular pathways revealed by microarray analyses that are expected to lead to mode-of-action information associated with the carcinogenic activity of classes of chemicals of environmental interest. Dr. Blackman is one of six founders of the Bioelectromagnetics Society (1978), served as president (1990), on the Editorial Board (14 years), and on the Board of Directors (2007-2010). He served on numerous national and international scientific committees, including the WHO and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. He has co-authored 58 peer-reviewed publications, 23 book chapters, 57 invited presentations, and 132 abstracts. He has reviewed grant applications for 17 organizations and manuscripts for 56 organizations. He is a member of the American Society for Cell Biology, American Society for Photobiology, the Biophysics Society, Bioelectromagnetics Society, European BioElectromagnetics Association, and the Society for In Vitro Biology.
