How hot is Quantum Biology these days?
Is there much research being done on this subject ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The area of researching quantum effects in photosynthesis seems to be the big one at present.
There are other areas of interest though.
This link summerises a number of ongoing research areas.

Edit:
Actually it's describing what was hot a couple of years back, but I don't think anything has changed dramatically.
