Outcomes and future activities of the ‘Pan-European network in Lipidomics and EpiLipidomics – EpiLipidNET’
EpiLipidNET structured its networking activities around (i) harmonization of analytical workflows, (ii) development of epilipidomics tools and data integration strategies, (iii) translational studies for clinical lipid biomarkers, (iv) investigation of lipid signaling mechanisms, and (v) dissemination and outreach. The network supported over 460 members globally, launched multiple training schools and scientific missions, produced 110+ publications, and fostered new initiatives in endothelial membrane lipidomics, food lipidomics, plant and algae lipids, and redox lipid biology. Its integrative approach sets a foundation for continued progress toward precision medicine and sustainable health interventions through lipid science.
