SUMMARY:Lipids are Cool Again | The Lipidomics Webinar #1 | with Kai Simons
DESCRIPTION:Before the DNA revolution the lipids were center stage in cell membrane research and also important players in metabolic research. But then they slowly disappeared into the background\, being relegated to a boring matrix for proteins in membranes. This is now changing.\nLipids are coming back on all fronts. They regulate the functions of cell membranes essential for life. The lipid composition in cells is tightly regulated to allow cell metabolism to function as a coordinated whole. This homeostasis is today under threat because our lifestyle is out of sync\, causing an obesity pandemic with deadly consequences.\nWe developed a mass spectrometry-based platform with unprecedented precision and have used this technology to analyze and establish multi-parametric lipid signatures that measure health and disease. Our data suggest that the blood lipidome reflects the metabolic status of the body. These lipidomic profiles could provide a navigation tool to stem the obesity affliction.\nHere is what you can learn:\n\nRecap of the research history of lipids\nIntroduction to lipids and lipid metabolism\nMethods for analyzing lipids\nPredictive power of lipidomics data\n\nJoin&nbsp\;the webinar for free and get in touch with the experts.\nRegistration
