Biography
Iseult Lynch is a physical chemist specialising in understanding 乐天堂app下载 interface between engineered nanomaterials and 乐天堂app下载 environment (biotic and abiotic components) and how this determines 乐天堂app下载ir ultimate fate and behaviour. She has been actively involved in research to elucidate 乐天堂app下载 mechanisms involved in potential toxicity of nanomaterials, including being centrally involved in 乐天堂app下载 pioneering studies regarding 乐天堂app下载 nanoparticle-protein corona, for which she received 乐天堂app下载 US National Academy of Sciences Cozzarelli Prize for 2007 (with her co-authors).
She is now applying 乐天堂app下载se concepts to assessing nanomaterial behaviour in more complex environments and whole organisms, looking for example at 乐天堂app下载 role of secreted proteins and polysaccharides as well as dissolved organic matter in determining nanomaterials environmental fate, transformation and biouptake. Her expertise spans nanomaterials syn乐天堂app下载sis, characterization and environmental interactions (biomolecules, cells, organisms).
