The Network for the Biology of Zinc (Zinc-Net) was chaired by Profs. Nicola Lowe and Lothar Rink as a European Cooperation in Science & Technology network (COST action TD1304, http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/fa/TD1304 ) and is now running as a non-profit association of scientists working on zinc www.Zinc-Net.com. The network includes researchers from agriculture, biochemistry, animal and plant biology, chemistry, human and veterinary medicine and nutrition. The main aim of Zinc-Net was to establish a comprehensive understanding of the role of zinc biology, medicine and general public health and wellbeing by creating a multi-disciplinary research platform that brings together expertise from research groups throughout the COST countries and beyond to stimulate and accelerate new, innovative and high impact scientific research. Ultimately this will benefit the wider society and economy.
