Metals and oxygen: Planetary and human homeostasis (MOPHH)

Discussion meeting organised by Professor Karen Johnson, Professor Caroline Peacock, Dr Stephen Chivasa, Dr Karrera Djoko and Dr Eva Tretter

MOPHH brings together geoscientists, bioscientists and health scientists to explore the role of metals and oxygen in governing the molecular processes that control homeostasis in plant, animal and planetary geochemical cycles. This transdisciplinary meeting will draw parallels between how metals and oxygen control redox from human to planetary scale, shaping the circadian rhythms that connect humans to the Earth System.

Programme

The programme, including speaker biographies and abstracts, will be available soon. Please note the programme may be subject to change.
