Bartelt Lab
Slide 1 von 3
The Bartelt Lab studies metabolic adaptation as a fundamental process by which cells and organisms respond to environmental challenges
- We are particularly interested in the regulation of energy balance, adipocyte health, and obesity associated comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Our goal is to understand the molecular basis of metabolic biology and find new approaches to tackle metabolic disease clusters.

Alba Wins Best Poster at the ELC Meeting
11 Sept 2025
Big congratulations to our PhD student Alba Mena Gómez, who won the Best Poster Presentation Award at this year’s European Lipoprotein Club (ELC) Scientific Meeting in Tutzing! Her poster, “Lipid droplet composition and dynamics are key regulators of lipid ROS-induced ferroptosis,” impressed the jury and sparked great discussions.
The ELC meeting, now in its 49th edition, took place September 8–11 at the Evangelische Akademie in Tutzing, Germany. It brought together scientists from across the globe working on lipids, lipoproteins, and lipid-related diseases, with a lively mix of talks and poster presentations from both senior researchers and graduate students.
