The ‘Total-Nanosafe’ Hybrid Conference is bringing experts in different fields related to the use of nanomaterials, nanotechnology and how these are related to different aspects of safety, regarding health and environment.
We will have experts talking about nanotoxicology, organ-on-a-chip, cheminformatics, public health and environment, among the main topics.
With this conference we aim to get a broad overview of the state of the art in the different aspects of nanosafety, to increase the interactions among the community of experts, providing the chance of sharing new ideas and generating new collaborations.
/ Submit Your Abstract
