EDIAQI EU🔬 In September, Blaž Režonja, a Master’s student at the NIB National Institute of Biology, Slovenia — a key partner in the #ediaqi project — presented his research at the 17th Multinational Congress on Microscopy.
His work, titled “Automated quantitative fluorescence microscopy and image feature analysis for in vitro detection of adverse effects,” explores how HepG2 spheroids respond to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) — common air pollutants formed during incomplete combustion and known to pose risks to human health.
This research is part of a broader effort conducted within the Horizon Europe projects #CutCancer and #ediaqi, contributing valuable insights into the health impacts of air pollution through advanced microscopy and toxicological analysis.
