Problems in redox biology can lead to a number of diseases. Several of them are quite direct, and easy to understand. They function at the level of the electron transport chain, where redox chemistry undergoes. And, it's quite easy to connect the dots. When you see something, going wrong, something that we can study, you can see a clear outcome in the disease. Now, there are other diseases that probably have a redox event underlying or exacerbating and we think that by studying those first sets of disease, we're going to learn a lot, we'll understand how to approach the problems, and we may even be able to unpick those larger diseases, such as auto-immune disease, or cancer, and understand them from the perspective of redox biology.
