Survey on carbon-based nanomaterials and analytical methods 🔗https://lnkd.in/dPKscjzx The European Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON), in collaboration with NovaMechanics, is conducting a survey to gather insights on analytical methods for identifying, characterising and quantifying carbon-based nanomaterials in various matrices. Take part in the survey and contribute with your knowledge. Have your say until 1 November 2024.

💡 The Role of Technology in Drug Development: Shaping the Future of Pharmaceuticals In the ever-evolving world of pharmaceutical research, technology is transforming the way we develop and test new drugs. The LIFESAVER Project’s bio-digital placenta concept is a prime example of how innovative technology can redefine drug development, particularly in ensuring the safety of medications for pregnant women. Traditionally, the safety of drugs during pregnancy has been a complex challenge, often relying on animal models or limited human data. Our bio-digital placenta functionality offers a groundbreaking alternative — allowing researchers to simulate and observe the effects of drugs on fetal development in a controlled, ethical, and highly accurate environment. This advancement not only accelerates the drug development process by providing earlier and more reliable safety data, but it also reduces the risk of adverse outcomes for both mothers and babies. The broader implications are profound: faster development cycles, reduced costs, and ultimately, more effective and safer drugs reaching the market. As pharmaceutical companies increasingly adopt bio-digital technologies like ours, the future of drug development looks brighter and more efficient. This is more than just innovation—it’s about safeguarding the health of future generations. #LIFESAVERProject #PharmaInnovation #DrugDevelopment #BioDigitalTechnology #MaternalHealth #FetalSafety #PharmaceuticalResearch #TechInMedicine #PharmaEthics #DrugSafety #MaternalHealth #Pharmaceuticals #InnovationForGood #FetalHealth #DigitalTwinTechnology #HealthSafetyInnovation #LifeSaverH2020 #H2020 #EUFunded #EUHealthResearch #greendeal #HealthcareInnovation

🤔 The fact that safer #chemicals are better for people and planet may not come as a surprise to you. But did you know they can also boost profits? ❌ Many chemical producers, however, are stuck chasing short-term gains and miss out on far greater financial rewards in the long run. This is revealed in ChemSec's new report, "A Profitable Detox", which is published today. ➡️ Read the full #report to discover how businesses can increase #profitability by embracing safer chemistry: https://lnkd.in/dKvfuedV 😎 TL;DR?

👉🏻 Sign up for the webinar: https://lnkd.in/dET4jzgG 🏭 Fluoropolymers are PFAS #plastics used in well-known consumer products such as frying pans and outdoor clothing. However, due to their highly functional properties, fluoropolymers are also used in a wide range of other complex uses that not many people know about. ❌ But that functionality comes with a high price. Fluoropolymers release harmful PFAS #chemicals from the manufacturing process through the period of use and into the waste phase. 🧡 This month’s Beyond #PFAS webinar will explore potential safer alternatives available today and discuss how to best phase out fluoropolymers. In this #webinar, you can expect to learn: ✅ How fluoropolymers are used in complex products or industrial equipment ✅ Why they are used and how to approach a substitution work  ✅ What alternative materials can replace #fluoropolymers 🎙️ Speakers: — Ian Keyte, Principal Environmental Policy Consultant at WSP — Emil Damgaard-Moller, Chemistry Consultant at the Danish Technological Institute  — John G., Chief Scientist at Victrex — Dr. Jonatan Kleimark, Head of Corporate Sustainability at ChemSec 📅 Tuesday, October 22 🕒 15:00-16:00 (CEST) 🖥️ #Zoom
