General Information
Every day, we explore how lipids and lipoproteins shape health and disease — and how their intricate transport systems influence conditions such as dyslipidemia, obesity, and diabetes. These aren’t just abstract questions for us; they are puzzles with real-world consequences, and our goal is to transform each answer into new opportunities for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy.
We push the boundaries of lipidology using unique animal models and state-of-the-art molecular techniques, including in vivo gene transfer and advanced analytical tools. These cutting-edge approaches allow us to trace, in exquisite detail, the molecular pathways that connect lipid transport to metabolic dysfunction. It’s in this space — between molecules and medicine — that our science truly comes alive.
At the Laboratory of Pharmacology and Lipid Research, discovery is a team effort driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a shared vision for a healthier future. Our group brings together a vibrant blend of scientists all united by a common passion: to unravel the mysteries of lipid metabolism and the metabolic syndrome.Our team thrives on interdisciplinarity.
Biochemists work alongside clinicians; pharmacologists collaborate with molecular biologists and AI engineers. This blend of expertise creates an atmosphere buzzing with ideas, where every experiment sparks a new question and every finding opens the door to clinical translation. Together, we aim not only to decode the molecular language of lipids, but also to turn that knowledge into novel pharmacological compounds and next-generation diagnostic tools capable of predicting patient risk and personalizing therapy.
What drives us is simple — impact. We believe that great science can change lives, and every discovery in our lab brings us one step closer to that goal.
