Scope
The 5th International Copper Meeting
on "Copper and Interacting Metals in Biology" will take place in Sardinia and
follows on from the previous successful meetings, held in Italy since 1997. In
the last decade, the role of copper in biological systems has received growing
attention and there is a steady increase in the number of groups working in the
field. Copper research now stretches from structures and electronic features on
the one side to copper’s role in human diseases like Menkes disease, Wilson
disease, or Alzheimer disease on the other. Copper pathways have also been found
to intersect with other trace metals, such as iron or molybdenum. This meeting
will cover as many of these varied aspects as possible. The meeting is designed
to provide a maximum of informal discussion and personal interaction.
