91Ó°¿âDeuel Conference on Lipids

Jan. 21–24, 2025
Hyatt Regency, Long Beach, Calif.

The 91Ó°¿âDeuel conference is a must-attend event for leading lipids investigators — and for scientists who’ve just begun to explore the role of lipids in their research programs. This event will bring together a diverse array of people including those who have not attended Deuel or perhaps any lipid meeting before.

The conference is a forum for the presentation of new and unpublished data, and attendees enjoy the informal atmosphere that encourages free and open discussion. Interested scientists are invited to attend and encourage trainees to submit abstracts.
