Overview
Theo Murphy meeting organised by Dr Micaela Matta and Professor Clara Santato.

This interdisciplinary meeting will gather researchers across all career stages in four key domains: synthesis and melanogenesis, biopigment characterisation, modelling and melanin-based devices. We will present the latest discoveries on melanin chromophores and the factors governing ionic and electronic transport. We will discuss holistic structure-property models and demonstrate sustainable technologies for this peculiar class of biomaterials.

The schedule of talks, speaker biographies and abstracts are viewable below.

For those that don't know what the Royal Society is, it is an old scientific academy that was started nearly 400 years ago. An academy that the best scientists in the world are members (or, as they call them, 'fellows') of.

I checked their members and apparently Dr. James Watson is still a member.
