Main research interest is the toxicity of nanomaterials, with the following application fields:

• basic studies: investigation of the relationship between the physicochemical features of the nanoparticles and their toxicity in order to determine the parameters involved and modify them to make safer particles (“safer-by-design” approach). Also include studies on the protein corona and its impact on the nanoparticle toxicity.
• industrial toxicology: sanitary aspects related to manufacturing processes, analysis of the toxicity of nanomaterials of interest for industrials before incorporation in their processes or products.
• environmental toxicology: assessment of the impact of the nanomaterials on the environment during their life cycle (from production to use to degradation). Includes the study of the combined toxicity of several pollutants, especially in the context of car pollution (e. gas from exhaust emission and particles from non-exhaust emission such as tires or brake wear particles).
• human toxicology: studies on the toxicity of aerosols produced by e-cigarettes, especially on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Also includes mineralogical studies, e. the assessment of nanoparticles in human clinical samples and the investigation of relationships with clinical data (especially idiopathic diseases) and occupational exposure.
