Since that time, Guilleminot was mainly interested in the young radiological discipline and physical applications in biology and medicine . He received his doctorate in 1896.

In 1907 he worked at the physical-biological laboratory of the medical faculty and in 1911 took over the management of this institute. In 1908 he organized the first radiological laboratory of the Paris hospitals at the Charité in Paris. During the First World War , Guilleminot worked in the medical service of the French army , organized an electro-radiological treatment center in Bordeaux , took care of radiological laboratories and developed prostheses for war casualties.

In 1905 his main work, Traité d'électricité médicale , was published, the third edition of which was published in 1922. He studied the effects of radioactivity on plant growth and showed that biochemical effects are proportional to the dose of radiation absorbed .

Guilleminot dealt with radiotherapy and radiometric issues (1910), described an oscillometric backpressure Sphygmo manometer (1917) and published scientific and philosophical works.
