In my final few days in Vienna, I presented my ongoing PhD research on novel ceramide synthase inhibitors at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)’s Annual Conference!

Thank you to EASD for the travel grant, enabling me to share my research!

Had the great opportunity to present my PhD research at the 10th #LipidomicsForum held in #Vienna at the University of Vienna!

Have spent the last few days sitting where Einstein once did & hearing some great talks about lipidomics applications and developments!
