Is graphene toxic to human health? – MACRAMÉ Partner addresses large Questions about a small Material

While everyone agrees on its incredible properties and the possibilities it brings to industry in particular, more and more studies are also aiming to assess graphene’s toxicity on human health. The various studies carried out on the subject all agree that the type of graphene, its quality, the degree of concentration and the level of exposure have different impacts. However, they show that Read more…

Good Practice in (Meta)Data Management – a MACRAMÉ-co-authored Paper provides new Impulses far beyond its Community

‘[…] a highly topical issue in the science community: that of research data management and FAIR data.’ [Peer-Reviewer 1] A new paper on data management laments that the processes underlying the best practices of research data management were ‘overly focussed on the needs of specific research projects or aligned to Read more…

Launch of the MACRAMÉ Control Material Library

To support development, harmonisation, and benchmarking of testing methods applied within the HorizonEurope-funded Project, a MACRAMÉ Control Material Library (CML) has been established. The Library contains representative materials with largely known properties impacting the in vitro test development and of materials to be investigated in the MACRAMÉ Use Cases (UCs). Read more…
