The overall objective of the project is to determine whether model organisms with genetically sensitized signal transduction pathways can be used as predictors of mammalian developmental toxicity. Specific objectives: - Evaluate the effect of model developmental toxicants on the morphological […]
Many new technologies' introductions have been hindered by societal negativity regarding their development, application and commercialisation. Whilst considerable research activity has been directed towards understanding the underlying determinants of societal acceptance emerging technologies, this has been done on a case […]
The objectives of this project are: - to test the suitability of existing OECD testing guidelines for nanoscaled amorphous silicon dioxide (NASD) and ZnO; - to subject these test materials to OECD guideline testing; - to supplement these guidelines with […]
Nanotechnology is a new and fast emerging field that involves manufacture of materials that are less than 100 nm in size in one dimension. Due to their extremely small size, engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) exhibit properties that are vastly different from […]
Nanomaterials form an important new class of technological materials that have numerous novel and useful properties. The expected growth in production and use of such materials increases the likelihood of human and environmental exposure. Evidence exists that children may be […]
The overall goal of this project is to recommend a scientifically sound and defensible minimalized experimental design for fish bioconcentration measurement. This experimental design will meet the "spirit" of the OECD 305 protocol producing key regulatory data, but ideally will […]
Chemical bioaccumulation is an interesting scientific phenomenon and an important regulatory consideration. The production and use of chemicals that are assessed as having a high potential to accumulate can be restricted in many jurisdictions. At the same time, recent scientific […]
The general objective of the research project is to generate greater confidence and acceptance for the application of CBBs in the scientific community and in regulatory contexts. A key element of this research will be to compare model predictions that provide mechanistic […]
The goals of the project are: To create a mechanistically based, non-steady state, chemical fate and bioaccumulation model to predict wildlife and human exposure to organic chemicals. To further develop this model to make it applicable to polar chemicals that […]
Many toxic chemicals can enter the body via the skin. Measuring a chemical's ability to cross the skin is difficult, time-consuming and costly. One solution is to develop models relating skin permeability to chemical structure - known as a quantitative […]
