Research
Research in the CEIN unites seven integrated research groups to develop scientific models for: (i) determining the mechanisms of toxicological injury based on QSAR considerations at the nano–bio interface (IRGs 1 & 2); (ii) understanding the features of the NMs that affect their bioaccumulation in different phyla (IRG 4); (iii) predicting ecosystem toxicity of NMs in aquatic and terrestrial life forms (IRG 3); (iv) developing HTS and computational predictive risk assessment models (IRGs 5 & 6); and (v) using this information to implement the safe use of nanotechnology with low environmental impact.
Interdisciplinary Research Groups IRG 1- Nanomaterial Standard Reference and Combinatorial Libraries and Physicochemical CharacterizationIRG 2 – Studying NMs' Interactions at the molecular, Cellular, Organ, and Systemic Levels IRG 3 – Organismal and Community Ecotoxicology IRG 4 – Nanoparticle Fate and Transport IRG 5 – High-Throughput Screening, Data Mining, and Quantitative-Structure Relationships for NM Properties and Nanotoxicity IRG 6 – Modeling of the Environmental Multimedia NanoMaterial Distribution and Toxicity IRG 7 – Risk Perception of Potential Environmental Impacts of Nanotechnology
