Iron and copper are essential metal nutrients but mishandling leads to cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological disease. Intriguingly, some enzymes handle both iron and copper and this project will develop new methods for their study. The work will lead ultimately to enlightened prevention and effective management of the multiple diseases.

铁和铜是必需的金属营养素，但处理不当会导致心血管，代谢和神经系统疾病。有趣的是，一些酶同时处理铁和铜，该项目将开发新的研究方法。这项工作将最终导致对多种疾病进行明智的预防和有效的管理。
