EHS research team focuses on research and development of predictive models for application in environmental & health safety evaluation, nanotoxicology, food safety, biological activity screening and efficacy studies through the variety of predictive model development and innovative technology.
Our current areas of research are:
1) Microphysiological systems (in vitro and ex vivo): intestinal models, skin models, inhalation exposure models, organ-on-chip
2) Zebrafish model (in vivo): toxicology and environmental health, pharmaceutical and biomedical research, high-throughput screening and transgenic model
Computational models: Life cycle analysis, pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic modeling
Current research projects
- Phototoxicity study of marigold (Tagetes erecta) flower extraction by solvent extraction
- The design methods for testing anti-aging efficacy in active ingredients and herbal extracts using human ex-vivo skin model
- Development of zebrafish model methodology for safety assessment of nanoparticles
- Pre-validation and applications of a 3D-intestinal model for nanosafety research in phase I
- Establishment of biomimetic intestinal models for applications in food and agricultural industries, drug development and herb industries
