The Nanosafety Platform has a broad range of equipment for the biological monitoring of workers potentially exposed to manufactured nanomaterials (identifying biomarkers of effect and developing biological exposure indices).
The Medical Biology Laboratory completes tests prescribed by occupational physicians and looks for early biomarkers of exposure and effect.
