About me
Graham N. George’s research focuses on understanding the chemical behavior and transformations of elements in complex chemical, environmental, and life-science systems. His work addresses fundamental questions concerning the structure, reactivity, and biological roles of metals and metalloids, as well as the chemical mechanisms underlying processes such as catalysis, metal homeostasis, and metal toxicity. A recurring theme of his research is the identification and characterization of chemical species that occur in complex natural systems, including biological tissues, environmental materials, and catalytic systems, with the aim of linking molecular-scale chemical structure to macroscopic biological or geochemical behavior.
