معرفی
Dr Kirsty Meldrum is a Researcher in Biomedical Sciences at Swansea University's School of Medicine, affiliated with the RESPIRE project and the Horizon 2020 PATROLS program. She holds a PhD from Imperial College London and Public Health England, specializing in nanotoxicology and airway disease models. Her role involves advancing in vitro lung models to assess nanomaterial toxicity and studying air pollution exposure impacts on child health during pregnancy. Key areas of expertise include nanoparticle-cell interactions, advanced exposure systems, and lung toxicology.
Education: PhD in nanotoxicology from Imperial College London and Public Health England (investigating cerium dioxide nanoparticles and diesel exhaust effects on airway models).
Research interests focus on developing robust in vitro models for toxicology testing, harmonizing exposure methodologies, and understanding nanoparticle-induced inflammation. She contributes to high-impact projects like RESPIRE (UKRI-funded) and PATROLS (Horizon 2020).
Publications span 2021–2025, emphasizing in vitro lung models, nanoparticle effects, and interdisciplinary approaches to environmental health challenges. Collaborations include international teams to standardize aerosol exposure protocols and assess air pollution's developmental impacts.
Grants: RESPIRE (UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund) and PATROLS (Horizon 2020). Her work bridges toxicology, nanotechnology, and clinical translation through advanced in vitro systems.
