Where do nano particles go once they enter the body? ANSTO scientist helps shape new OECD guidance

ANSTO scientist Dr Paul Callaghan helped develop new OECD guidance for studying how nanoparticles are absorbed, distributed and cleared by the body.

Scientific Computing

The Scientific Computing team supports researchers by performing numerical simulations that complement experimental research. In particular, we use state-of-the-art software to perform computational quantum mechanical modelling, molecular dynamics simulations, lattice dynamics calculation, data analysis and visualisations.
