Program for the workshop
The workshop aimed to present recent advances in tools for the safety assessment of nanomaterials and chemicals and to gather feedback on future development of research in this field. The workshop featured the participation of key international and national experts in nanoscience and (nano)toxicology.
The project meeting highlighted the achievements of the project “Towards a reliable assessment of nanomaterial health effects using advanced biological models and assays (NanoBioReal)”, financed by the Research Council of Norway through the Nano2021 program. The NanoBioReal consortium has designed and established closer to real-life advanced biological models and exposure systems, methods that are less prone to distortions caused by nanomaterial interferences, and data models that provide reliable and efficient tools for a safer and more sustainable development of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.
