Toxicology of Nanomaterials

Summary

The subject is focused on deepening student's understanding in the field of biological effects of nanomaterials, physical-chemical parameters of nanomaterials which has impact on biological effects. The subject provides comprehensive overview on experimental methods for toxicity testing of nanomaterials, including methods for characterization of nanomaterials needed for interpretation of biotesting. The aspect of legislative frame related to usage and regulation of nanomaterials is included as well.
