The Role of Chromatography in Lipidomics: An HPLC Interview with Michal Holčapek
At HPLC 2023, LCGC spoke with Michal Holčapek of the University of Pardubice in the Czech Republic. These clips comprise one of several HPLC interviews that were conducted at the conference.
Holčapek spoke with us at HPLC 2023 in Dusseldorf, Germany on the topic of his talk at the conference, entitled "Potential of Various Chromatographic Modes for Comprehensive Coverage of Human Lipidome."
Holčapek is a Professor at the University of Pardubice in the Czech Republic.
In these interview clips, Holčapek answers the following:
- Can you define lipidomics and why it is important? (00:16–00:58)
- Why is oncolipidomics important for cancer treatment? (00:59–02:00)
- What role does chromatography play in oncolipidomics? What techniques are used? (02:01–02:56)
- Can you describe your methodology for early cancer detection? (02:57–03:51)
- When do you anticipate implementation in real cancer screenings? (03:52–04:53)
- What other lipodomics projects is your group working on? (04:54–06:11)
