Lipidomics
Lipids play a crucial role in cell protection and compartmentalization, fat storage and energy provision, inflammation and temperature maintenance. Lipidomics research is continuously growing due to the biological relevance and the high diversity of lipids with over 40 000 annotated lipid structures. However, there is a huge analytical challenge to monitor lipids due to biological fluctuation, rapid interconversion and stability problems. To meet these challenges, our group develops novel analytical strategies using a toolbox of mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography and in vivo labeling of yeast.
