An Integrated Interdisciplinary Approach to Animal-Free Nanomaterial and Chemical Safety Assessment by in3D project

14 November 2019

The in3 project is funded by the EU’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action – Innovative Training Network (MSCA-ITN for short) that aims to drive the synergistic development and utilisation of in vitro and in silico tools for human chemical and nanomaterial (NM) safety assessment. Here are our dedicated, motivated, dynamic, early stage researchers.
