Dr. Michael Wilkerson was recently one of the nine leading experts in dermatology and nanodermatology who gave a presentation on nanotoxicology and the long-term effects of cytoplasmic nanoparticles on cells at the inaugural international conference of the Nanodermatology Society (NDS). He discussed his research on the mutagenic effects of short-term and chronic-exposure of TiO2 on cell cultures, and the long-term implications of nano-loading. The NDS conference was held in conjunction with the 69th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in New Orleans, LA on February 4th, 2011.
