Projects
B24 – Modeling exposure and biodistribution of microplastic particles in the human body
Aim of this project is to develop a human exposure probabilistic modelling framework for microplastics, and to collect input data for scenario analyses and validation. The framework will be flexible so as to enable implementation of updates as key processes […]

C10 : A Tiered Strategy to Assess Microplastic Inhalation
The LRI C10 project aims to develop better tools for the identification of the inhalation toxicity of microplastics of different origin/with different properties. Humans are ubiquitously exposed to microplastics; this includes a diverse class of compounds/particles but also very different […]

C9: Mining the developmental toxicity genome in the zebrafish embryo test to develop a spatio-temporal map on morphogenesis and associated biomarker.
The LRI C9 project “zet-o-map” aims to develop better tools for the identification of teratogenic compounds. One of the most promising assays is the zebrafish embryo teratogenicity assay (ZETA).

B12.3 – Assessing the relevance of the dust contribution in consumer exposure to substances from consumer products and articles (DustEx extension)
Human exposure to semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) present in materials is of great interest because of the large number of SVOCs used for different purposes in different materials; ranging from plasticizers in PVC to flame retardants in upholstery and clothing […]

B21 – In Vitro Data to Parameterise PBPK Models For Inhalation Exposure
This project aims at the generation and application of physiologically derived transport parameters in a PBPK model focusing on a more detailed description of substance uptake through the respiratory tract/via the inhalational route. This PBPK model is aimed to be […]

C7 – ELUMICA – Elucidating Microbial Metabolic Capacity
This project will carry out collaborative, mechanistically oriented research centered around the following three aims: Identify and quantify alterations in endogenous and xenobiotic-derived microbial metabolites; provide a basis to examine interspecies and interindividual differences in intestinal microbial metabolism; and develop […]
