Nencki Conference for Life Sciences Focus on Lipid Metabolism on May 23-24, 2024 in Warsaw, Poland

Lipids represent the most energy-dense component of our diets. Therefore, they serve as the most desirable material to store energy. Apart from acting as fuel molecules, different lipids play multiple structural and signaling functions in the cells. Lipid overload or defects in the enzymatic and signaling machinery regulating lipid handling cause multiple disorders ranging from metabolic diseases (obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and metabolic fatty liver disease), through different types of cancers to immune disorders. Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing different aspects of lipid metabolism is far from being completed. Moreover, the role of lipid metabolism in pathophysiology of many processes is not completely understood. Thus the Nencki Conference for Life Science will focus this year on lipid metabolism. 

Name: Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences
Website: https://nencki.edu.pl/
Address: 3 Pasteur Street, 02-093

The Institute is in the A+ category of scientific achievement and potential, granted by the Committee for Evaluation of Scientific Units. Belonging to the leading scientific centers in the country, the Institute is where creative people, driven by knowledge and skills, connect, collaborate, and lead change. Our scientists combine state-of-the-art research approaches with precise tools and bioinformatics to implement ambitious, interdisciplinary research projects. Our main focus is on novel therapies and diagnostic methods for neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, cancer, and other diseases that afflict modern civilization. Modern and well-equipped core facilities support scientific research, providing a wide range of services, including preclinical trials, DNA sequencing, genetic engineering, transgenic animal production, and biological imaging, from light and electron microscopy to magnetic resonance imaging. We also cooperate with industry to bring novel products to the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and biotechnological markets.
