Welcome to the Bioinorganic Chemistry Thematic Group

The Bioinorganic Chemistry Thematic Group of the Società Chimica Italiana (Italian Chemical Society) brings together the national scientific community engaged in studying the role of metals in living systems and the interactions between inorganic species, biomolecules, and the environment. Bioinorganic chemistry is inherently interdisciplinary, combining experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying metal ion-mediated biological processes and to develop new applications in biomedical, environmental, and technological fields.
The Group promotes collaboration among researchers, research institutions, and industry, supports the professional development of early-career scientists through educational and training initiatives, and provides opportunities for scientific exchange at national and international levels. Its objectives include coordinating and promoting research activities, disseminating knowledge in bioinorganic chemistry, and strengthening synergies among the different areas of the discipline.
The Group is supported by the SCI Divisions of Inorganic Chemistry, Chemistry of Biological Systems, and Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, ensuring its full scientific integration. For administrative purposes, the Group operates under the Inorganic Chemistry Division.
