Applied Lipidomics Investigation

APLIPID is a biotechnology startup (Sarl) serving as an interface between industrial end-users and an academic laboratory for LIPIDOMICS STUDIES (at "Faculte de Medecine P et M Curie", Paris, France). APLIPID offers the variety of services (MS equipments, biostatistics and expertise with medical/pharmaceutical oriented reporting) required to investigate the LIPID METABOLISM under pharmacological agents and diet. The particular capability of APLIPID is processing the large batch of mass spectra comprised of the multiple lipid molecular species forming the "biological lipidome" to extract RELEVANT BIOMARKERS.

Nutritional studies and screening of drug candidates in model animal are MS2-based lipidomics studies commonly commissioned to APLIPID. The figure below shows the separation of a subgroup of mice given a high-fat diet based on their liver triglyceride composition from which 7 pertinent biomarkers is sorted out of 85 molecular species.
