eNanoMapper

Duration: 1 Feb 2014 - 31 Jan 2017

Data about the potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) comes from many different sources so it is sometimes challenging to understand relevant data as a whole. Edelweiss Connect originated and coordinated eNanoMapper to aggregate data about ENMs whatever the source. The eNanoMapper project developed a computational infrastructure for toxicological data management of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) based on open standards, ontologies and an interoperable design to enable a more effective, integrated approach to European research in nanotechnology. 

eNanoMapper also supports the collaborative safety assessment for ENMs by creating a modular, extensible infrastructure for transparent data sharing, data analysis, and the creation of computational toxicology models for ENMs. 

Building on recent developments of consortium partners in predictive toxicology, biology and nanotechnology research, the project developed resources, tools and standards for a scientifically sound risk assessment of ENMs to support the design of new safe and environment-friendly ENMs as well as the assessment of existing materials.

Client: 7th Framework Programme
