Institute of Comprehensive Molecular Analytics, CMA, Environmental Health Center, Helmholtz Munich

The Institute of Comprehensive Molecular Analytics (CMA) is developing new mass spectrometric analysis techniques and molecular profiling of aerosols regarding their effects on human health.

We investigate the nature and principles of adverse biological and toxicological effects of aerosols on lung cells, tissues, animals, and humans.
