Australian Bio-Metals Research Network

生物金属研究网络的目的是将澳大利亚在金属离子研究方面的广泛专业知识与环境，健康和前沿技术联系起来。该网络是跨学科的，汇集了生物、生物医学和物理科学领域的50多个小组领导人。该网络的一个主要目标将是从分子角度了解生物和环境过程及疾病状况，并为开发新技术提供新材料。该网络将在研究和教育方面与世界各地的生物金属团体进行互动，并将制定合作资助提案

The aim of the Bio-Metals Research Network is to connect the extensive Australian expertise in the study of metal ions in relation to the Environment, Health and Frontier Technologies. The Network is inter-disciplinary and brings together over 50 group leaders in the biological, biomedical and physical sciences. A major aim of the Network will be to provide a molecular understanding of biological and environmental processes and disease states as well as providing new materials for the development of new technologies. The Network will interact in research and education with Bio-Metals groups around the world and will develop collaborative funding proposals
