Assessment of safety and risk from chemical substances and their impact on human health and the environment.
Objectives:
1. Develop and apply in vitro methods based on molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxicity and biotransformation of xenobiotics, especially within the field of neurotoxicity and pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity.
2. Develop and apply methods of biomonitoring of biomarkers of exposure and effect on public health.
3. Risk assessment using existing data in collaboration with competent authorities and businesses in processes of evaluation and authorization of substances within European regulations.
