<p>You should check out Ed Dennis in the Chemistry and Biochemistry department at UCSD (which happens to be my department). He leads a Lipids research initiative, is very well known in lipid chemistry, and is well funded (NIH just renewed the $38 million grant). Here is the website for the initiative in case your interested: - [LIPID</a> MAPS – LIPID Metabolites And Pathways Strategy](<a href=“http://www.lipidmaps.org%5DLIPID”>http://www.lipidmaps.org) .</p>
