Résumé
Several metals are essential to life, but many others are toxic. In each case their action depends not only on the metal’s speciation but also on an intricate interconnectedness between the roles of elements, as they may counteract or magnify each other’s positive or deleterious roles. The Chair will develop and deploy synchrotron techniques to investigate heavier elements in living systems, with a particular emphasis on selenium and its interplay with mercury. By taking a holistic approach, from laboratory studies, through environmental outcomes to human cases, the program seeks an overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying these intricate interrelationships.
