Dr Steffany A.L. Bennett - CIHR Training Program in Neurodegenerative Lipidomics

Neurolipidomics focuses on cellular, regional, and systemic lipid homeostasis in the central nervous system encompassing not only the identification and measurement of individual lipid isoforms but also the mRNA and protein expression profiles of metabolic enzymes and transporters and the protein targets that affect downstream signaling. Further, a lipidomic analysis also includes an unbiased assessment of lipid function ranging from the physicochemical basis of lipid behaviour to lipid-protein and lipid-lipid interactions, and impact of dynamic lipid metabolism on cellular response to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli.
