Surplus lipid is stored inside cells in structures called lipid droplets. Despite their ubiquitous presence in mammalian cells, and their obvious importance in obesity-related disorders, surprisingly little is known about lipid droplet synthesis and degradation. My laboratory explores mechanisms of cellular lipid storage by studying the functions of proteins that associate specifically with lipid droplets. Our research utilizes a variety of techniques in biochemistry and cell biology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Researchers:<\/strong><br \/>\nGreta Bauer<br \/>\nMichelle Logsdon<br \/>\nAlison Seline<br \/>\nArthur Sletten<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous student who have worked on this also include:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ben Binder<br \/>\nShahid Jaffer<br \/>\nCary Schlick<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Listenberger\u00a0&#8211; Assistant Professor Excess lipid accumulation in obese and overweight individuals contributes to serious medical conditions including heart disease, type II diabetes, and stroke.
