European Iron Club

The European Iron Club is dedicated to research into the biological inorganic chemistry of iron: its metabolism, pathology and clinical relevance to man.

The club's aim is to promote discussion and interaction between biologists, biochemists, chemists, molecular biologists, nutritionists and clinicians in all aspects of iron metabolism in biological systems.

The club provides regular newsletters to its members, listings and information on iron meetings to be held throughout the world and an annual international meeting organised in a different European country each year (with bursaries available for attendance).
