Sanford Burnham Prebys Symposium- Molecular Medicine of Lipids

Friday, October 18, 2024

8:00 am - 7:00 pm PT

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, La Jolla, CA

Fairway Ballroom

Join us for an engaging one-day symposium dedicated to exploring the cutting-edge advancements in lipid biochemistry and biology. This event will feature a distinguished lineup of expert scientists who are at the forefront of research in this dynamic field. Our program is designed to offer comprehensive insights into a variety of critical topics, including:

• Phospholipids and Sphingolipids: Understanding their roles in cellular membranes and signaling pathways.
• Fatty Acids: Exploring their diverse functions and metabolic pathways.
• Endocannabinoids: Investigating their impact on physiological processes and their potential therapeutic applications.
• Epilipidome: Examining the complex interplay of lipids in cellular contexts.

The symposium will delve into the analysis of these lipid classes, their structural roles, and their significance in both inter- and intracellular communication. We will also address how disturbances in lipid pathways contribute to various diseases.
