Research Themes and Core Activities
Since its founding in 2008, the UC CEIN has successfully integrated the expertise of engineers, chemists, material scientsits, ecologists, marine biologists, cell biologists, bacteriologists, toxicologists, computer scientists, biostatisticians, and social scientists to develop a predictive platform that informs about ENM hazards. Our work is carried out by 43 research projects across 7 interdisciplinary themes.
Compositional and Combinatorial Engineered Nanomaterial Libraries for Property-Activity Analysis - Theme 1
Molecular, Cellular, and Organism High-Throughput Screening for Hazard Assessment - Theme 2
Fate, Transport, Exposure, and Life Cycle Assessment - Theme 3
Terrestrial Ecosystems Impact and Hazard Assessment - Theme 4
Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems Impact and Toxicology - Theme 5
Environmental Decision Analysis for Nanoparticles - Theme 6
Societal Implications, Risk Perception, and Outreach Activities - Theme 7
Engineered NanoMaterial Acquisition, Characterization, Distribution - Core Activity B
Data Repository and Nano Collaboratory - Core Activity C
Molecular Shared Screening Resource - Core Activity D
