Short Bio
Laura graduated with a Ph.D in Genetics from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain). Her PhD work was focused on nanotoxicology, mainly evaluating the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of nanomaterials. Laura joined Philip Demokritou’s laboratory in the department of Environmental Health in the Molecular and Integrative Physiological Sciences program in June 2017 as a postdoctoral fellow to work in characterizing engineered nanoparticles, evaluating their toxicity for human health and looking for possible industrial applications.
Research Interests
- Implications of ingested engineered nanoparticles (iENP) on human health.
- Characterization of iENPs across the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
- Use of physiologically relevant models for in vitro toxicity studies
- Emerging applications related to iENPs.
