Join us at “Lipidomics in Neurodegenerative Disease Research” Seminar

Having collaborated extensively with global pharmaceutical companies, university hospitals, and leading academic institutions, Lipotype is committed to advancing the field of biomedical research by supporting neuroscientists through cutting-edge lipidomics analysis service. As part of this commitment, Lipotype is hosting a seminar titled “Lipidomics in Neurodegenerative Disease Research,” bringing together distinguished speakers and researchers with over a decade of experience in lipid science, with a focus on neuroscience.

This event will cover the application of lipidomics in both basic and clinical research. In addition to the scientific presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in relevant discussions and network with fellow researchers over drinks and light refreshments. The event aims to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas and spark new collaborations in the neuroscience and lipidomics communities.

The speaker lineup includes Dr. Rebecca Pinals, a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Picower Institute, who will present “Targeting Lipid Metabolism for Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics.” Dr. Silke Nuber, Instructor in Neurology and Principal Investigator at Brigham and Women’s Neurology, will speak on “Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Triad Drives Perturbations in the Global Lipid Economy of the Brain.” In addition, another speaker (TBA) will present a talk titled “Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase Inhibition Prevents Multiple Parkinson Disease Phenotypes in Mice.”

The seminar will take place on Monday, June 23, 2025, at the Cambridge Innovation Center, 5th floor, One Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02142. The scientific program will run from 15:00 to 17:00, followed by networking and lipid rafting from 17:00 onward. And yes, by “lipid rafting,” we’re having a bit of fun with the scientific term. But we also mean actual rafting – in the Charles River! We’ll have a raft ready at the event, so feel free to hop on and enjoy a ride if you want, of course. ;)

We hope to see you there!
