- Grant, Mary (Principal Investigator) Patwardhan, Siddharth (Principal Investigator) Urquhart, Andrew (Principal Investigator)
- Although nanoparticles are extensively used in a wide range of commercial applications, the understanding of their toxicity has started to emerge only recently and confusion regarding their safe use is widespread. In this project, we aim to assess the toxicity of newly-invented nanoparticles which have applications in biomedical materials such as drug delivery. Consequences of exposure to the nanoparticles will be assessed (using appropriate ISO standard protocols) by effects on viability, proliferation and cytokine release. One outcome of this project will be known toxicity and drug delivering ability of new nanoparticles.

- KTA - 3-D hepatocyte model systems for testing the toxicity of new pharmaceuticals
- Grant, Mary (Principal Investigator)
- The toxicty of novel candidate pharmaceuicals is usually tested in animals. Cultured liver cells (hepatocytes) are being developed for in vitro testing of toxicity in order to reduce and replace the use of animals. Instability of their functions in culture is limiting progress towards this aim. This project investigates the potential of a new culture matrix (Orla 3-D Cell Carrier glass matrix) developed by Orla Protein Technologies to maintain functional hepatocytes in a 3-dimensional configuration.
