Nanosafety
The group was launched with the support of an ERA-Chair grant entitled SiNfONiA – Safety in Nanomaterials & Nanotechnology. The overall aim of SiNfONiA is to boost RTD activities in the nanosafety arena and strengthen the research and innovation potential of INL.
Research Lines:
- Organ-on-a-chip technology to evaluate the safety of nanomaterials used on products that could get in contact with the skin or the respiratory tract.
- Epigenetics and in vitro/in vivo bridging models to evaluate the safety of different nanomaterials and pollutants.
- Toxicology and immunotoxicology of nanomaterials using sensors and high-throughput technologies.
- In silico evaluations using QSAR, QSPR, QSTR, machine learning and life cycle assessment.
