Graphene & 2D Materials

​

Identifying and resolving of any possible safety and toxicity issues of graphene-based materials in view of their possible biomedical application. This is done in the framework of the Graphene Flagship Health and Environment work package. We apply our expertise also to materials like carbon nitride and molibdenum disulfide.
