Summary

  • New NIA member Infinite d.o.o. is cutting long-term health safety assessments from months to under a week, using automated in vitro to in silico technology that could transform how advanced materials are screened before they reach market.

NIA is excited to welcome Infinite d.o.o. as our newest member! A cutting-edge tech-bio spin-out from the Jožef Stefan Institute, Infinite is redefining long-term health safety assessments with its pioneering in vitro monitoring and automated in-vitro-to-in-silico translation technologies.

Infinite’s In Finite technology sets a new industry standard, delivering rapid and precise health safety evaluations in under a week—far faster than traditional methods like animal models and organ-on-chip platforms. This breakthrough empowers advanced material developers to pre-screen materials efficiently, reducing costs and delays while ensuring safety from the outset.

“We are delighted to join NIA and contribute to its mission of driving innovation, safety, and sustainability in nanotechnology,” said Janez Štrancar, CEO of Infinite d.o.o. “By collaborating with NIA and its members, we look forward to shaping safer and more sustainable nanotechnologies for R&D, workplaces, and society at large.”

NIA Responds to EUON Survey on Carbon-Based Nanomaterial Detection and Quantification

NIA recently contributed to the EUON (ECHA) survey on the state of the art in detecting and quantifying carbon-based nanomaterials. The survey assessed current methodologies, standards, guidelines, and ongoing developments for both carbon-based and multicomponent hybrid nanomaterials. It also sought insights into existing gaps, research priorities, and funding needs in this critical field. Drawing from the expertise and input of its members, NIA emphasized several key points: Occupational…
