Research

Research conducted within the UC CEIN has been organized into seven integrated research groups (IRGs). This interdisciplinary structure allows UC CEIN to (a) create a library of nanomaterials; (b) understand the effects of nanomaterials on organisms and ecological systems; (c) characterize the mobility, persistence, and reactivity of nanomaterials in the environment; (d) design a predictive model of toxicology and environmental impacts of nanomaterials; and (e) develop guidelines and decision tools for safe design and use of nanomaterials.
