Equally as interesting are the genetic defects that effect the delicate balance of these micro-nutrient and result in pathological condition &#8211; that diseases to you an me. Furthermore, toxic metal hijack these systems to gain entry into biological system disrupting normal metal ion homoeostasis together with stimulating a mirriad of additional toxic responses. This essential dichotomy of needing something that will hurt you if it is not handled correctly is a balancing act that all biological systems are challenged with and its that fascinates me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can see my curriculum vitae in\u00a0Linked in or ORCID ID Research Motivation I wanted to update my personal page and as this is my personal research website I wanted to tell people what makes me excited about science.
