DESCRIPTION:Events occurring at the solid/ aqueous interface underpin a va
 riety of technologies used in the biomedical and technological fields. Int
 eractions occurring at interfaces are also used to good effect in nature w
 here biomolecules guide and control the formation of biominerals. My resea
 rch group studies biomineralisation in vivo and transitions the mechanisti
 c information so gained to laboratory-based reaction systems.   A major go
 al of our research is to develop a detailed understanding of interactions 
 between biomolecules such as peptides and surfaces including preformed par
 ticles in solution. Using examples from our recent studies\, this presenta
 tion will describe our current understanding of the mechanisms of biologic
 al-material interactions for a number of inorganic materials.
