Supporting Diverse Lipid Research

IJL membership supports researchers across the complete spectrum of lipid science. Our community includes investigators studying fundamental lipid biochemistry, fatty acid metabolism and transport mechanisms, cholesterol biosynthesis and regulation, lipoprotein structure and function, membrane lipid dynamics, and lipid signaling pathways controlling cellular processes from inflammation to apoptosis.

Clinical members advance understanding of lipid-associated diseases including atherosclerosis, familial hypercholesterolemia, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, and rare lipid storage disorders. Pharmaceutical scientists develop novel therapeutics targeting lipid pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. Nutritional scientists investigate dietary lipid impacts on metabolic health and disease risk.

The International Journal of Lipids publishes research spanning basic science through clinical translation, making membership valuable for laboratory scientists seeking clinical perspective and clinicians wanting foundational biochemistry updates. Our interdisciplinary approach advances understanding of how lipids function in health and contribute to disease when dysregulated.
