Alistair Nunn: Bioelectricity, Biophotons & Quantum Biology

Alistair Nunn, PhD, is a British theoretician with a background in biochemistry, drug development and quantum biology. He is currently the director of science at the Guy Foundation where he contributes to work on bioenergetics, the thermodynamics of life and quantum effects in biological systems. His research interests focus on understanding inflammation and ageing, the implications of which are fundamental to life. This has inevitably brought his focus towards the notion of hormesis and life as a complex, dissipative structure. His conception of what is important when it comes to understanding health and disease are vital, as he focuses on the most foundational aspects of life and how they shape it.
