Expertises: Genomics

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a scientist?

Abstract: Lipids comprise thousands of individual species, spanning many classes and subclasses and are integral to cellular signalling, metabolism and function. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of lipid species can provide novel insights into human physiology, inborn errors of metabolism andmechanisms for complex traits and diseases. We integrated lipidomics and genomics to unravel the genetic architecture ...
