Recent advances in plastic and plastic additives research. Can we transition to risk-based prioritisation?
Plastnettverket arrangerer i samarbeid med Norsk Selskap for Farmakologi og Toksikologi (NSFT) møtet "Recent advances in plastic and plastic additives research. Can we transition to risk-based prioritisation?" den 6. november i Bergen.
Main content
Keynote speaker Hans Bouwmeester er førsteamanuensis i toksikologi og ekspert på å utvikle innovative dyrefrie modellsystemer. Han har lang erfaring med å studere nanomaterialer, inkludert mikro- og nanoplast. Hans erfaring med in vitro-systemer inkluderer både single-cell modeller og organkulturer (organ on a chip) for å etterlikne ekstracellulære miljøer. Forskningen hans dreier seg i stor grad om å benytte og utvikle gastrointestinale- og levermodeller. Han er involvert i flere in silico modelleringsstudier der han veileder PhD studenter i prosjekter som omhandler farmakokinetisk modellering.
