Laboratory for Biological Effects of Nanomaterials and Nanosafety, established in December 2008, is a research and technology innovation platform engaged in the exploration of the biological effects of nanomaterials as well as nanosafety to support long-term nanotechnology development and applications. With bioeffects of nanomaterials as the key scientific focus under national demands of health and safety, the lab develops interdisciplinary researches of nanomaterials, toxicology, biology, and biomedical science that focus on new effects, new phenomena and new rules derived from interactions between nanostructures or nanomaterials and biological processes.
