CEINT research draws on expertise in five key areas: 1) environmental toxicology and ecosystem biology, 2) nanomaterial transport, transformation, and fate in the environment, 3) biogeochemistry of manufactured and natural nanomaterials, and incidental airborne particulates, 4) nanomaterial chemistry and fabrication and, 5) environmental risk assessment and modeling. CEINT research is grouped into three interconnected Themes: 1) Exposure: Transport and Transformations in Laboratory Systems, 2) Cellular and Organismal Responses and, 3) Ecosystem Responses. This research is supported in turn by work in three crosscutting Cores: A) Manufactured Nanomaterials, B) Natural and Incidental Nanomaterials and, C) Modeling and Risk Assessment.
