Since its foundation more than twenty years ago, this meeting in the heart of Germany has developed into an established forum for scientific discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration in all relevant areas of lipid metabolism and diseases caused by metabolic disorders. This year we will offer for the first time the meeting as a hybrid event with online availability of all lectures and presentations.

The international XXII Lipid Meeting Leipzig 2021 addresses current topics in lipid-disorders and related diseases and lipid-metabolism. The advent of new therapeutic developments targeting lipid disorders and the increasing awareness about the relevance of lipids and their metabolites illustrates the relevance of this meeting. We will discuss timely and evolving topics related, among others, to fatty liver disease, single cell analyses and lipidomics, early priming of chronic disease trajectories and disease resolution. These topics will presented and discussed by internationally renowned experts.

The Lipid Meeting is open for all physicians, scientists and students interested in the fascinating field lipid function in medicine and physiology. It brings together an international group of participants from all career levels and from various scientific and medical disciplines to present cutting-edge research in a collegial atmosphere.

We hope to offer you an interesting and scientifically exiting meeting and look forward to welcoming you.

Prof. Dr. Berend Isermann
