Strategy to mitigate disease outbreaks
How to create a safe and effective antimicrobial surface as a potential strategy to mitigate the spread of disease outbreaks? Within the recently funded EU project SUPREME toxicologists from Wageningen University & Research will work together with scientists across Europe to answer this question.
The SUPREME consortium will develop a platform of efficient and multifunctional antimicrobial nanocoatings, building customised core/shell and advanced functional nanoparticles and hybrid fibre-nanoparticles.
The production of the SUPREME coating will follow a sustainable-by-design approach that considers both toxicity and environmental impact from outset. This to guarantee both market acceptance and sustainability of the overall process and having a robust safety assurance in place for human health. The safety for humans of these advanced materials will be studied by toxicologists from the chair group of Toxicology of Wageningen University & Research and the Dutch Institute of Public Health and the Environment.
