Research in Lipid Sciences

Section on Lipid Sciences

Welcome!

Dr. Lawrence Rudel is the head of the Department of Pathology's Section on Lipid Sciences.  Along with their research activities, the eight members of the section's faculty administer the Transgenic Mouse Core Facility, the PhD in Molecular and Cellular Pathobiology ("MacPath"), and the Integrative Lipid Sciences, Inflammation, and Chronic Diseases Training Program. 

Lipid Sciences  is located in the new Richard H. Dean Biomedical Research Building in the Piedmont Triad Research Park.  The combination of state-of-the-art facilities with proximity to other investigators provides a rich environment for collaborative research.

Also located on the new campus is the Center for Botanical Lipids, one of five dietary supplement research centers focusing on studies of botanical products that have been jointly funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), both components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
