Projects

Find out more about the fascinating projects the NaNoRISK group are currently researching.

  • TEM image of Titania nanostars
    Nanoparticle hazards

    Researchers are investigating how specific physicochemical properties of nanoparticles might link to human toxicity. It is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council.

  • False colour SEM image of Zinc oxide nanoparticles
    Model nanoparticles for ecotoxicity studies

    This project aims to generate a set of well characterised nanoparticles that will show the range of properties that appear to influence ecotoxicity. It is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council.

  • TEM nanostars
    NanoReTox

    This project aims to identify the risks manmade nanomaterial poses to the environment and human health. It is funded by the European Commission under FP7.

  • Spindle shaped copper oxide nanoparticles
    Reactivity and ecotoxicity

    Find out more about how researchers are investigating if a link exists between physicochemical properties of engineered nanoparticles and a potential to cause environmental harm.

  • AFM image of HAP aggregates
    Hydroxylapatite (HAP) nanoparticles

    This project investigates potential links between toxicity and the physicochemical properties of HAP nanoparticles, as expressed in relevant media. It is funded by a Newton International Fellowship from the Royal Society.
