Research topics include but not limited to:

• Human toxicology; nano-bio interface;

• pharmacokinetics and particokinetics;

• safe design and improved biocompatibility of nanomaterials;

• exposure to consumer nanotechnology-based products (e.g. medical devices, paints, cosmetics, electronics and clothing);

• exposure scenarios and risk assessment of nanomaterials in working places;

• ecotoxicology and risk assessment;

• ethical, legal and social issues of nanotechnology;

• methodology to analyze the metabolism of nanomaterials in vivo/vitro;

• theoretical simulation of nanomaterials-biomolecule interaction at the molecule level and how to use this tool to better understand the safety of nanomaterials.
