Lang TRAN
IOM - UK

Dr Lang Tran is the Principal Toxicologist at the Institute of Occupational Medicine. Lang has contributed considerably on the toxicology of inhaled particles and fibres. His early work was in the mathematical modelling of the retention and clearance of man-made mineral fibres and mineral dusts.  He has led the investigation and the risk assessment of inhaled poorly soluble particles which helped NIOSH in establishing the control limit for fine and ultrafine TiO2 aerosol.

From his experience with particle toxicology Lang has contributed also in many European Research Projects through the Framework 6 and 7 Programmes. Most notable are the project FP7 ENPRA (Risk Assessment of Engineered Nanoparticles) and FP7 MARINA (Managing Risks of Nanoparticles). Lang is currently the chairman of the COST Action TD1204 MODENA on Modelling the toxicity of nanoparticles. Lang is an editor of the NANOTOXICOLOGY and PARTICLE and FIBRE TOXICOLOGY journals.  He also contributes in the organisation of the NANOTOXICOLOGY Symposium series.
