DESCRIPTION:The field of lipidomics is still emerging in comparison to gen
 omics and proteomics. However\, how the lipidome changes throughout the li
 fetime of a cell offers vital clues to the cell's function. Professor Mich
 ael Wakelam\, the director of the Babraham institute\, is one of the leade
 rs in the field of lipidomics and the techniques associated with the chara
 cterisation of the lipidome. His own work focuses on the role of lipids in
  ageing.\n\nBiography:\n\nMichael Wakelam received a BSc in Medical Bioche
 mistry in 1977 and a PhD in Biochemistry in 1980 from the University of Bi
 rmingham. Following post-doctoral work at the University of Konstanz\, Ger
 many and Imperial College London he was appointed to a Lectureship\nin the
  Biochemistry Department\, Glasgow University in 1985. He became Professor
  of Molecular Pharmacology at the Institute for Cancer Studies\, Universit
 y of Birmingham in 1993. In 2007 he became the Director of the Babraham In
 stitute in Cambridge\, he is an Honorary Professor at Cambridge and Birmin
 gham Universities and a visiting Professor at Kings College London. He is
