Laurens aim is to indentify, characterize and understand MNPs both using model systems, and from (within) real-life sources, e.g. human cells or the environment, and link these to potential health effects. To do so, his expertise on micro-spectroscopic techniques aids in fully characterizing these particles, even on the nanoscale.
