We are interested in fundamental and translational aspects of lipid metabolism in nutrition-related chronic diseases. In particular, how dietary (intestinal) derived lipids and their metabolism contribute to, or alleviate pathways that cause cardiovascular etiology.
We are keen to appreciate how the etiology of early obesity, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes accelerates CVD complications and influence lipid homeostasis. Our dynamic and vibrant group fosters a supportive research environment for staff/trainees in order to build capacity and facilitate unique inter-disciplinary scientific training.
On March 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM MST, we will host a masquerade gala in support of Campus Food Bank’s mission to advance immediate and systemic food security at the University of Alberta.
Join us at Lunar & Boxer Albertan Kitchen & Bar for a night of elegance and community. Doors will open at 6:30 PM. Please access the event from the Lunar Events doors, which face Gateway Boulevard.
Put on your best mask and enjoy an evening of music, dancing, and delicious food, all for a great cause. Let's come together to support our campus community and make a difference. Don't miss out on this memorable event! Your $100 ticket includes a canapé-style meal, a glass of bubbles, live music, a silent auction and a photo booth.
