Poster presentation: Expanding the eNanoMapper Ontology – ICBO2020

Laurent Winckers from the University of Maastricht, presented a poster on expanding the eNanoMapper ontology during 11th International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies. Abstract The NanoCommons Knowledgebase, https://www.nanocommons.eu/nanocommonsknowedge-base/, is an essential component of nanoinformatics and based on an agreed ontology. NanoCommons has continued to expand and develop the eNanoMapper (ENM) ontology to aid toxicological data management…

Read-across predictions of nanoparticle hazard endpoints: a mathematical optimization approach

NanoCommons supported paper: Read-across predictions of nanoparticle hazard endpoints: a mathematical optimization approach Abstract In the present study, a novel read-across methodology for the prediction of toxicity related end-points of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) is developed. The proposed method lies in the interface between the two main read-across approaches, namely the analogue and the grouping methods,…

European Registry of Materials Hackathon – Oral Presentation

  Egon Willighagen from the University of Maastricht has given a presentation on the need for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) identifiers for nanomaterials used in nanosafety, nanomedicine and nanotechnology research. The presentation was given during the 4th NanoCommons General Assembly that took place in Limassol, Cyprus in July 2019. The presentation is available…

A safe-by-design tool for functionalised nanomaterials through the Enalos Nanoinformatics Cloud platform

NanoCommons supported paper: A safe-by-design tool for functionalised nanomaterials through the Enalos Nanoinformatics Cloud platform Abstract Multi-walled carbon nanotubes are currently used in numerous industrial applications and products, therefore fast and accurate evaluation of their biological and toxicological effects is of utmost importance. Computational methods and techniques, previously applied in the area of cheminformatics for…
