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)
