We develop and apply integrated, multidisciplinary approaches to advance:

  • Safety and efficacy assessment
  • Mechanistic understanding of material–biological interactions
  • Regulatory science and risk evaluation

Our work combines advanced experimental models with computational approaches to generate robust, reproducible, and mechanistically informed data that supports translational research and evidence-based decision-making.

Our activities are focused on advancing the field through:

  • Integration of existing knowledge to address critical gaps in nanomedicine and nanotoxicology
  • Development and validation of scientifically grounded, regulatory-relevant methodologies supporting Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) nano-enabled products
  • Application, optimisation, and standardisation of advanced analytical, biological, and computational approaches, including:
    • Mechanism-driven testing strategies
    • New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)
    • High-throughput and high-content analyses
  • Establishment of robust methodological frameworks for nanomaterial risk assessment with relevance for regulatory science and long-term implementation
