Overview
Currently working on the impact (bioaccumulation and biological effects) of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles on marine invertebrates, with a view to trophic transfer. I have been working with Cerium Oxide and Silver Nanofroms, inlcuding the use of isotopic ceria to highlight trophic transfer at low concentration, even when high background levels might mask suchincrease.
