Particle Pollution and Human Health Challenge

Three interdisciplinary projects have been selected to for the JADS cohort 2025. They aim to make human health and well-being more resilient in the evolving environment, strive to move the evolution of the environment towards healthier directions with a special focus on environmental pollutants. 

Here are the 2025 projects:

• TREAD: Tyre-wear particle generation and triggered immune responses causing CD8 T-cell auto-aggression-mediated organ damage
   
• OPTIMAL: Oxidative potential of non-exhaust Particulate Matter and their Toxicological, Immunological and Epigenetic Signature in Human Lung Cell Models
   
• NANOMICO: Decoding Nanoparticle–Epithelium–Microbiome Interactions in the Human Lung in Early-life
