Alfaro-Moreno Group

Alfaro-Moreno Group

The group was launched with the support of an ERA-Chair grant entitled SiNfONiA – Safety in Nanomaterials & Nanotechnology. The overall aim of SiNfONiA is to boost RTD activities in the nanosafety arena and strengthen the research and innovation potential of INL.

Research Lines:

  • Organ-on-a-chip technology to evaluate the safety of nanomaterials used on products that could get in contact with the skin or the respiratory tract.
  • Epigenetics and in vitro/in vivo bridging models to evaluate the safety of different nanomaterials and pollutants.
  • Toxicology and immunotoxicology of nanomaterials using sensors and high-throughput technologies.
  • In silico evaluations using QSAR, QSPR, QSTR, machine learning and life cycle assessment.
