BSEM International Scientific Hybrid Event - Bioactive Lipids: Expanding Horizons of Membrane Medicine
Published to Upcoming Events on Aug 31, 2026
The BSEM’s November 2026 event, reflects where the field of Bioactive Lipids has arrived at today. The lipid story that BSEM members were tracing clinically through dietary fatty acids, red-cell lipid analysis at the Johns Hopkins Peroxisomal Diseases Laboratory, membrane structure and function, and inflammatory disease two decades ago has converged on mechanisms that are now active frontiers in biomedical research: the specialised pro-resolving mediators, the structural and signalling roles of DHA within the brain and nervous system, the influence of membrane phospholipid composition on cellular communication and metabolic function, the consequences of lipid depletion, and the evolutionary mismatch between modern diets and our lipid biochemistry.
What once appeared to be disparate observations are increasingly being unified through advances in lipidomics, neuroscience, immunology, and systems biology. We now understand that lipids function not only as structural components and energy substrates, but also as dynamic signalling molecules that influence inflammation, immune regulation, mitochondrial function, neuroprotection, cellular resilience, and tissue repair.
