Biometals 2002; King's College London: 11–13 April 2002

Metal-ion-dependent reactions are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, from the geochemical changes that have affected evolution to the biochemical and physiological effects of metals on health and disease. Biometals 2002, the 3rd International Biometals Symposium, brought together some of the most active workers in these areas with the aim of sharing common themes in biometals research. Over 200 delegates from some 21 countries attended the 3-day meeting.
