Marco Monopoli The overall objective of WP5 is to clarify the ‘biological identity’ of ENMs before and after they have entered into cells or organisms so that the relationship between the ENM surface (biomolecule corona composition) and mechanisms of toxicity (identified in WP7-10) can be understood. As soon as nanomaterials enter complex environments, such as
Socorro Vázquez-Campos WP4 is devoted to studying the transformation and release of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) along their life cycle (production, manufacturing, use and disposal) when used in existing applications or industrial processes, and the assessment of the environmental and health impacts of these releases. Researchers have so far performed a selection of representative applications incorporating
Erik Larsen and Manuel Correia The first half of 2014 consisted of finishing the synthesis of the engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), which has now been completed. Present work, which is ongoing, involves the basic characterisation and development of dispersion protocols for the powder materials. Up until now, more than half of the ENMs have been characterised
NANOSOLUTIONS partner INKOA will deliver a speech in the NanoBio&Med industrial forum
In this newsletter we present an overview of the NANOSOLUTIONS project
NANOSOLUTIONS was present at the Forum for Young Scientists held in Syracuse, Italy 8-9 October 2014. The presentations by Carina Muoth (EMPA) and Manuel Correia (DTU), both working in the NANOSOLUTIONS project, were awarded for the two best science communications of the Forum. Congratulations Carina and Manuel! Carina Muoth (EMPA) won the first prize with

A new project seeks to identify and elaborate the characteristics of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) that determine their biological hazard potential. Nanosolutions will help develop a safety classification model for ENM based on an understanding of their interactions with living organisms, benefiting industry and enabling innovation
Nanosolutions partner Nanocyl has announced an executive management change. As per May 1st 2014, Mr. Laurent Kosbach will take over the CEO position at the company. He will have the responsibility to bring the company to the next level of its industrial development. Read more on the Nanocyl website.
