Clinical lipidomics

We apply shotgun mass spectrometry technology to full-lipidome analyses to acquire the full lipidome profile of organs, tissues, bio-fluids or in vitro models obtaining insights of several biomedical conditions. Our main focus is on human and mice liver, gut (colon), brain and plasma embracing  various health conditions (from metabolic disorders to cancer).

Among our main projects, we are interested in liver pathological conditions, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) since the lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, and the additional fibrotic changes happen during NASH.

We aim to investigate the role of genetic risk markers of NAFLD in liver lipid metabolism by performing liver lipidome. Establishing clinically-relevant reference values (in moles) of the healthy liver lipidome, its changes in obese patients, and patients with NAFLD and NASH is an essential part of translational aspect of current work.

Our main collaborators for full-lipidome studies: Dr. Sebastian Zeissig’s lab (Center for Regenerative Therapies, Dresden); Dr. Jochen Hampe’s lab (University Hospital, Dresden); Dr. Ünal  Coskun’s lab (Paul Langerhans Institute, Dresden); Liver Systems Medicine (LiSyM) research network; Dr. Wieland Huttner’s lab (MPI-CBG, Dresden).
