We aim to bridge the fields of Bioinorganic Chemistry and Immunology/Virology. The Action will allow cross-fertilization of these scientific fields pushing the boundaries in understanding the role of iron-sulfur clusters and metals in immune response and viral infection
About us
Our Story
The idea of the Action stems from a previous European COST Action on iron-sulphur biogenesis (FeSBionet). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Ebrahimi gathered a group of Scientists across Europe to initiate a pan-European Network bridging the fields of Bioinorganic Chemistry and Immunology/Virology. The Action was funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology in 2022.
