NEUROTRANSKINETICS

The main objective of NanoTransKinetics is to establish techniques for modeling relationships between nanoparticle properties and toxicity (including interactions of nanoparticles with biological systems). The project focuses on understanding the mechanisms of nanoparticle uptake into, and sub-cellular transport within cells and through biological barriers with the objective of enabling much more rapid progress towards a screening approach, where predictions of nanoparticle bioaccumulation could be made on the basis of limited in vitro screening data.
