S2NANO
Physico-chemical determinants of
toxicity: A rational approach towards safer nanostructured materials.
S²NANO
is a research project supported by the Belgian Ministry of Science
Policy under the programme "Science
for sustainable development
(2005-2009)".
The
objective of the
project is :
to
investigate experimentally the physico-chemical determinants of
nanomaterials toxicity in order to provide guidelines for the design,
production and control of safer and sustainable industrial products
It
is an interdisciplinary project involving a network of expertises from
several Belgian universities :
D. Lison (UCL, Coordinator)
M. Kirsch-Volders (VUB)
P. Hoet
(KULeuven)
J. Martens, C.
Kirschhock (KULeuven)
