Johannes Becker

Johannes Becker is a researcher at the University of Rostock, affiliated with the Institute of Chemistry and the Department of Analytical Chemistry. He contributes to the EU-funded ULTRHAS project (Grant Agreement No. 955390), focusing on the health impacts of ultrafine particles (UFPs) from transportation sources.

His research involves in vitro toxicity studies using human lung models at the air-liquid interface to assess the effects of combustion and non-exhaust emissions. These studies aim to understand how the chemical and physical properties of UFPs influence their toxicity, particularly in the alveolar regions of the lungs.

His work adheres to the 3Rs principle (Replace, Reduce, Refine), utilizing advanced in vitro methods to generate physiologically relevant toxicological data while minimizing environmental impact. The ULTRHAS consortium includes partners such as the European Commission, University of Rostock, and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.

Although no publications or awards are listed in the provided text, his research aligns with environmental health, aerosol toxicology, and analytical chemistry. He collaborates under Dr. Sebastiano Di Bucchianico’s subgroup responsible for Work Package 3: Toxicity Screening of Various Modes of Transport in Air-Liquid Interface Lung Models.
