Scientific research of the Laboratory adheres to the strategic programmes of NICPB “In vitro toxicology and 3R”, ‘Environmental Chemistry’ and ‘Macromolecular Interactions’

Main research areas and key-words:

• Nano(eco)toxicology
• Elucidation of mechanisms of toxic effects of chemicals (e.g., nanoparticles) using in vitro tests (luminescent bacteria, algae, protozoa, animal/human cell cultures etc)
• Construction of new recombinant luminescent bacteria for study of the mechanisms of toxic action of chemicals and/or nanoparticles
• Manifestation of toxic effests on physiological endpoints of micoorganisms. Intracellular homeostasis.
• Bioavailability and its mechanisms
• Environmental risk assesment
• 3R, QSAR, REACH
