Highlight NanoFATE- Nanoparticle Fate Assessment and Toxicity in the Environment

The NanoFATE project reached its end in the beginning of 2014! During 4 years we had the possibility to learn and be enthusiastic about the research that was being carried out, due to the interdisciplinarity of the project. The fate and toxicity of nanoparticles in the environment was the main and global aim of the project which involved a research team from the department of Biology, University of Aveiro.
