It’s finally out! Started this project as a PhD student in the Joost Holthuis’s lab & now it’s finished by my PhD student. Full-circle moment and the end of an era. 😊 Huge thanks to Gaelen and everyone who made this happen. OHSU News Pacific Northwest National Laboratory #lipid pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40473211/
