Molecular and Cellular Responses to Xenobiotics
Feb. 2020 – Sonja Boland will spend 6 months in Sergio Moya’s laboratory at the CIC biomaGUNE in San Sebastian, Spain, as part of the European BIORIMA project. This collaboration allows the development of organoid models to evaluate in vitro the toxicity of nanobiomaterials in the respiratory tract.
