About this collection
We are delighted to share with you a selection of the papers associated with a Faraday Discussion on Advanced imaging techniques in biomineralisation research. More information about the related event may be found here: http://rsc.li/biomineral-fd2025. Additional articles will be added to the collection as they are published. The final versions of all the articles presented and a record of the discussions will be published after the event.
This meeting is for established and early-career scientists, postgraduate students and industrial researchers working on various aspects of biomineralization research. It will provide an ideal forum for cross-fertilisation of ideas and understanding between the distinct but adjacent communities working in this exciting field.
On behalf of the organising committee, we look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh.
