Congrats to Alavaro Sanchez who was appointed Assistant Professor in Aix-Marseille university and started in September 2026.
October 2025: all the research group is focused on the organization of the International Symposium in Metallomics, ISM-10! We look forward to meet more than 250 participants from more than 25 countries to discuss about metals in biology, environment and also the arts in the very location where the field metallomics finds its roots with the discovery of the essentiality of zinc-salts in the growing of a fungus.
