Overview
The Lipid Research Division is a division of the 麻豆传媒色情片 and 麻豆传媒色情片 Biology. The LRD represents lipid research scientists of the society and addresses concerns that include, but are not limited to, national and international visibility, representation at the annual meeting and on scientific advisory panels, and increased funding for lipid research. Additionally, the LRD serves as a platform within the ASBMB to highlight progress in lipid research and to foster communication among lipid researchers and between lipid researchers and the broader ASBMB membership.
We invite all lipid researchers to join the division. ASBMB membership is required.
