The Bio-electromagnetism (BioEM) Research Team

The Bio-electromagnetism Research Group focuses on the development of therapeutic and diagnostic methods that leverage the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological systems. Our goal is to push the boundaries of medical technologies to make them effective, safe, and accessible. Our team consists of experts and students across various levels of study – we bridge research with clinical practice and contribute to improving the quality of healthcare.

• Microwave Hyperthermia

• Microwave Non-Invasive Temperature Monitoring during Hyperthermia or Tissue Ablation

• Microwave System for Stroke Detection and Classification

• Dielectric Properties Measurement of Tissues and Phantom Fabrication

• Application of Radar Techniques in Medicine

• Electroporation

• Low-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• Flow Assessment and 3D Heart Printing

Student Research Conference REMMA

We are organizing a student research conference Research in ElectroMagnetic Medical Applications (REMMA) dedicated to the use of microwave radiation in treatment and diagnostics.

Tonagena, s.r.o. - Spin-off CTU

In 2023, the Bioelectromagnetism team founded the CTU spin-off, Tonagena s.r.o., to commercialize the developed technologies and devices. The team is actively involved in all aspects of product launch, from development and testing to certification, production, and sales. Since the foundation of the spin-off, the TonaPulse® system, including a unique electrode system for adherent cell cultures, has been commercialized. This system is already being used, for example, at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, for research on irreversible electroporation for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as for gene transfection research, which holds promise for treating cancers or currently incurable genetic diseases.

In addition to electroporation, Tonagena s.r.o. is involved in custom development of microwave applicators and radar solutions for significant local companies, where it has already delivered hardware in both areas. More information is available at tonagena.cz
