Abstract	Philip Demokritou, PhDBiosketch: Dr Demokritou’s research interests are primarily in the areas of aerosol science and technology with emphasis on the elucidation of particulate matter (PM) health effects and environmental health and safety implications of engineered nanomatrerials (ENMs). His particle research has involved the development of personal PMmonitoring systems for use in exposure assessment and epidemiological studies andmethods for the physico-chemical and in-vitro/in-vivo toxicological characterization of nanoparticles. Such novel methods linking particle exposures to toxicology and adverse health effects have been widely used by US EPA, Environment Canada and other PMexposure assessors around the world and helped in advancing the field of particle health effects. His current research focuses on nanosafety and nano-bio interactions and the role of ENM structure on bioactivity. His nanosafety research has involved development of in-vitro screening approaches for nano-specific effects (DNA damage, epigenetics, translocation of ENMs across biological barriers, etc), “safer by design” approaches for families of ENMs such as metal and metal oxides, development of advanced tools and framework approaches for in-vitro/in-vivo dosimetry, linking exposures from nanoparticles released across life cycle of nano-enabled products (NEPs) to toxicology and adverse health effects, and environmental nanotechnology applications for pathogen inactivation. Dr Demokritou is currently the Director of the Center of Nanotechnology and Nanotoxicology at Harvard University (www.hsph.harvard. edu/nano). He served as PI, co-PI or co-investigator on several grants funded by NIH, EPA, NIOSH, NSF, USDA/NIFA, CPSC and EU research framework (FP7). He holds 6 international/ US patents and inventions and is a co-author of two books, numerous book chapters and hundreds of articles in leading journals and conference proceedings in the particle health effect and aerosol engineering fields. Dr. Demokritou’s innovative research was highlighted in major mainstream media and onlinemagazines including articles published in the Economist, NanoWerk, Chemistry world, The Scientist, ACS C&En News, MIT News, Harvard Gazette, NBR news.
