Research field
Nanooxicology
The design of animal models of acute, sub-acute and chronic toxicity are developed by exposing the animals to nanoparticles or nanomaterials. Contamination by ingestion, inhalation or cutaneous contact are studied. Potential toxicity is evaluated by autopsy, by biopersistance measurment, by biochemical dosages and by histology.
