EMBO Workshop — Organ crosstalk in energy balance and metabolic disease

Recently, our understanding of lipid metabolism has significantly advanced, at least in part by applying state-of-the-art lipidomic mass spectrometry approaches to cellular, cohort and animal models. A large body of evidence now exists demonstrating that bioactive lipids play key roles in regulation of biological processes important for health and disease. However, lipidomics also reveals major gaps in our knowledge, highlighting the enormous numbers, functional and structural diversity of bioactive lipids, their interactions, spatial and temporal changes and the complicated systems biology of lipid metabolism. This Keystone Symposia conference will cover areas of bioactive lipid research that have been particularly impacted by these new technologies, all of which have the potential to transform precision medicine. In particular, it will cover recent progress and perspectives in the studies of bioactive lipid metabolic pathways, how these interconnect and are cross-regulated, and their involvement in regulation of disease.
