About The Nanotoxico Project
Nanosciences and nanotechnologies are highly promising areas for research and industrial innovation. Due to their remarkable properties, nanomaterials (at least one dimension <100nm) are bearing many hopes, notably in materials engineering, in environmental sector and in medecine. The risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials has become the focus of increasing attention.
To develop safe and sustainable nanotechnologies in Belgium, the Directorate General for Technology, Research and Energy of the Walloon Region trusted The University of Namur to develop in vitro tests for nanoparticle toxicity assessment.
