About OLLE JOHANSSON
Scientist
Olle Johansson is a professor, retired from the Karolinska Institute (in Nov 2017, still active), Department of Neuroscience, head of The Experimental Dermatology Unit, Stockholm, Sweden, and previously at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, upholding positions as an assistant professor, associate professor, guest professor and adjunct professor, in basic and applied neuroscience. The Karolinska Institute and the Royal Institute of Technology are famous for their associations with the Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry, and Physics.
He has a long background in the neurosciences and has coauthored – together with his supervisor assistant professor Tomas Hökfelt and many others, including Nobel Laureates – up to the presentation of his doctoral thesis 143 original papers, reviews, book chapters and conference abstracts, a publication record hard to beat! His doctoral thesis at the Karolinska Institute was entitled “Peptide Neurons in the Central and Peripheral Nervous System. Light and Electron Microscopic Studies”.
He has participated in more than 300 congresses, symposia and meetings as an invited speaker, and with free contributions and as an invited ‘observer’ at an additional 200.
His studies have been widely recognized in the public media, including newspapers, radio and TV as well as on the Internet, both nationally as well as internationally, and he is a regular interview guest in magazines, journals, tabloids and newspapers, as well as in radio shows, TV programmes and in the Internet-based news blogs and websites.
Olle Johansson is a world-leading authority in the field of EMF radiation and health effects. Among many achievements he coined the term “screen dermatitis” which later on was developed into the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity which recognition mainly is due to his work. He has published more than 800 original articles, reviews, book chapters and conference reports within the fields of basic and applied neuroscience, dermatoscience, epidemiology, and biophysics, and is one of the authors behind the original Bioinitiative Report, including the chapters that were published – following peer review – in the journal “Pathophysiology” (2009), as well as the Seletun Statement, The London Resolution, The Benevento Resolution and The Venice Resolution. He has received a number of awards, including the Nokia Consumer Electronics Award, The Grand Environment Award of the Cancer and Allergy Foundation, the SIF Award, Tandvårdsskadeförbundets Pris, and many more.
He has on-going international scientific collaborations with, i.a., Japan, Belgium, Australia, Malaysia, Uruguay, and USA.
Professor Olle Johansson’s CONTRIBUTION TO THE BOOK ‘holistic emf protection made easy’
Patrick van der Burght and Olle Johansson knew each other from dealings in the past. After floating the idea of doing a foreword and sending Olle Johansson the manuscript of the book for him to read, Olle Johansson graciously agreed to write a foreword after he had read the book.
The authors are very grateful to Olle Johansson for giving more weight to the information in the book and for his kind recommendation that people should read it and ‘act on it’.
Independent research on the health effects of EMF radiation is costly, and we’d encourage anyone to contribute to scientists like Olle, who are fighting for the scientific information we all value so much.
