EASTBIO CASE: Inflammatory Fat: Understanding how the immune system drives adipose tissue dysfunction using lipidomics at University of Aberdeen on FindAPhD.com PhD Project - EASTBIO CASE: Inflammatory Fat: Understanding how the immune system drives adipose tissue dysfunction using lipidomics at University of Aberdeen , listed on FindAPhD.com

If you are interested in doing a PhD in metabolomics/lipidomics this might be for you - www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... Its a chance to use state of the art mass spectrometry imaging to study (and maybe treat) inflammation in adipose tissue at the Rowett Institute with Biotech company Sitryx.
