Free Radical Biology and Medicine is a peer-reviewed scientific journal and official journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine.The journal covers research on redox biology, signaling, biological chemistry and medical implications of free radicals, reactive species, oxidants and antioxidants.
He is currently the Director of the Centre for Free Radical Biology and the Vice-Chair of Research for the Department of Pathology. Darley-Usmar is also past President of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine, [ 4 ] and is one of the two editors-in-chief of the journal Redox Biology .
He has received awards, including the 2002 Vitamin Prize from the Society for Applied Vitamin Research, the Society of Free Radicals' Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014, the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Distinguished Service Award in 2016, and the Nencki Award from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in 2016.
Barry Halliwell (born 18 October 1949) [2] is an English biochemist, chemist and university administrator, specialising in free radical metabolism in both animals and plants. . His name is included in the "Foyer–Halliwell–Asada" pathway, a cellular process of hydrogen peroxide metabolism in plants and animals, named for the three principal discoverers, with Christine Foyer and Kozi Asa
The free radical theory of aging states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. [1] A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. [2] While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically relevant free radicals are highly ...
Townsend has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications including journal articles, book chapters, and co-edited a book titled, Redox and Cancer Part A. In addition, she served as Co-Editor for Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy from 2014 to 2015, and has been the Editor-in-Chief for this journal since 2015.
Redox Biology is an open-access peer-reviewed scientific journal and an official journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine and the Society for Free Radical Research-Europe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The journal covers research on redox biology, aging, signaling, biological chemistry and medical implications of free radicals for health and disease.
In chemistry, a radical, also known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron. [1] [2] With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.
