Overview

Our laboratory has advanced knowledge in experimental nutritional biochemistry and health, and on the role of bioactive fatty acid metabolites, called oxylipins, in various tissues and disease states, including the effects of diet and sex differences. This research has informed dietary recommendations, including for the general population as well as for kidney health and polycystic kidney disease. Our laboratory gained an international reputation in the targeted lipidomic analysis of oxylipins, on which we have provided fundamental data on the oxylipin compositions of many cells and tissues, as well studies on oxylipins in relation to health and disease. The laboratory currently focusses on collaborative studies involving oxylipins.
