Lipid Metabolism

  • Lipid metabolism involves the breakdown, synthesis and absorption of lipids.
  • Lipids are essential for health as they are involved in signalling pathways, hormones, cell membrane structure, energy storage,  as, well as, acting as biomarkers.
  • Different cell types have specific lipid compositions and metabolism influencing neurodegenerative, cardiovascular and liver diseases outcomes.

lipidomics

  • The field of lipidomics involves the identification and quantification of lipids within biological systems
  • Lipid profiling and analysis using techniques like mass spectrometry and chromatography to give insight into how lipid metabolism influence stress response, health or disease state in biological systems
  • Lipidomics has applications in biofuel production, as well as, advancements in medicine and nootropics food innovation and health validation.
  • Chemometrics and Lipid Modeling
  • Spatial, functional and compositional lipid metabolism in response to environmental stressors.
