We all know that genes and proteins are important in biological research. But what about lipids? Lipidomics has proven its usefulness in many studies, but still a lot of scientists do not know about lipidomics and have no clear picture of how it will benefit their research. Hence, we newly launched a webinar series, The Lipidomics Webinar.

The laureate of the world’s first Lipidomics Excellence Award, Prof. Dr. Anne-Claude Gavin from the University of Geneva , uses the analysis technology of Dresden based Lipotype GmbH for the next breakthrough in her lipid transfer research. The biochemist draws the world’s first molecular “map of lipid highways”, she is tracing the ways of lipid transfer between the membranes of body cells.
Kai Simons, founder and CEO of Lipotype, has been following the development of omic science for decades. His lifelong experience as well as his proficiency in lipids and lipidomics has led him to a detailed review.
