Lipides : systèmes analytiques et biologiques (Lip(Sys)²)

Laboratory presentation

The Lip(Sys)² is a research unit at the interface between biology, analytical chemistry and biochemistry that seeks to dissect the mechanisms of lipid homeostasis, in particular as regards lipids membranaires with applications in the fields of the atherosclerosis, the dermatology and the cosmetic. It also participates in anthropological projects in which it analyzes lipids from waxes, balms or ointments used by past civilizations. The unit is subdivided into three distinct groups: the atherosclerosis: homeostasis and trafficking of macrophages cholesterol team, the pharmaceutical analytical chemistry team and the LETIAM. Located on the site of the faculty of pharmacy, it benefits from the accessibility and expertise of the technical platforms of IPSIT. Its close connection with the European Hospital George Pompidou ensures a highly competitive translational research.
