Personal statement
Personal statement
My research focuses on identifying the hazards to human health posed by inhalation exposure to aerosolised particles and nanomaterials. Recent focus is on the development of physiologically-relevant in vitro models to reduce the reliance on rodent models for hazard assessment of novel materials and to improve our understanding of the underlying mechanism of particle-related lung disease.
