Funded Activity Summary

Lipidomics Associated with Metabolic Syndrome, Aging and Metabolic Variation between Species. The aim is to apply state-of?the-art mass spectrometry to identify and quantify alterations in membrane lipidomes (i.e. lipid classes, molecular species, structure alterations and by-products) related to two major health problems facing Australia i.e. the Metabolic Syndrome and an Ageing population plus insight into the variation in metabolic rate between organisms. This research offers the opportunity for the development of mass spectrometry based technologies for the early clinical diagnosis of metabolic disorders plus provides a template of information for our Linkage partner (AstraZeneca) to develop pharmaceutical therapies targeting key molecular lipid species identified as critical to particular membrane functions.
