What do we do?

Breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies have led to a rapid increase in the number of bio- and nano-materials being exploited commercially. It is still not clear how to adress potential health risks and ensure inherently safer designs for bionanomaterials. On this perspective, BioNanoLab focuses on elucidating the potential risks of nanomaterials and providing alternative approaches to the existing methods in the field. Our scope consists of many applications in nanotechnology and nanotoxicology. Check out our research!

Who are we?

BioNanoLab is a nanotoxicology research group led by Asst. Prof. Ceyda ÖKSEL KARAKUŞ. Our versatile team has a variety of students with different academic backgrounds from material scientists to molecular biologists. In Bioengineering Department of Iztech, we conduct our research with many aspects, mainly in the field of nanotoxicology. To find out more, meet with our crew!
