Recent advances in plastic and plastic additives research - Can we transition to risk-based prioritisation?
In collaboration with the Norwegian Society of Pharmacology and Toxicology (NSFT), the Plastics Network organizes the meeting “Plastic and plastic additives – impacts on human and environmental health” November 6th in Bergen.
Hovedinnhold
Keynote speaker Hans Bouwmeester is an associate professor in toxicology and an expert on developing innovative animal-free models. He has a track record on studying nanomaterials including micro and nano plastics. His experience on in vitro models includes single cell and organ on chip models to mimic the physical extracellular environment. His research largely concerns the gastrointestinal and liver models. He is involved in in silico modelling studies with several co-supervised PhD projects on pharmacokinetic modelling.
