Meeting Overview

This is an exciting time for the emerging field of lipidomics. With the development and evolution of sophisticated mass spectrometers linked to highly efficient liquid chromatography systems, individual molecular species of lipids can now be isolated and identified, allowing us to begin to understand lipid metabolism and the treatment of lipid-based diseases (atherosclerosis and inflammatory disease as well as arthritis, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease). Recent awareness that each category of lipid consists of thousands if not tens of thousands of individual molecular species requires sophisticated informatics to ensure consistent databasing and annotation of the numerous lipid molecular species and analysis of tremendous quantities of experimental data. The goal of this meeting is to bring together biological and biomedical scientists in a wide range of fields to share new findings and methods in the broader lipidomics field and to explore joint efforts to extend the use of these powerful new methods to new applications. Presentations will provide an excellent introduction for scientists new to these methods, and are sure to be of interest to lipidomics veterans to learn about latest techniques and research results.

The meeting program tentatively features the following sessions:

  • Cancer
  • Eicosanoids and the Inflammatory Response
  • Lipid Interactions with Membrane Proteins
  • Lipidomics and Metabolic Disease
  • Lipidomics of Microorganisms and the Biodome
  • Macrophage Biology and Cardiovascular Disease
  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Poster sessions will take place on both days of the meeting. The poster abstract deadline is Sunday, March 23, 2014. The reception and dinner Tuesday evening (included in the registration fee) are an opportunity for stimulating discussion and networking. Please register as soon as possible, as space is limited and registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. The early registration deadline is Sunday, March 23, 2014. We look forward to seeing you at this exciting meeting!
