Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E36: Manuel Mayr
Q: If someone is interested in working with your group or collaborating, what's the best way to reach out?
He suggests emailing as the primary method of contact, acknowledging high volume but encouraging persistence, and mentions conferences as in-person alternatives for potential collaborations.
E36: Manuel Mayr
Q: From your perspective, how close are we to seeing proteomics and multiomics approaches influencing routine clinical decision making?
He notes that while proteomics tools are becoming more accessible, widespread clinical adoption will take time. He highlights lipoprotein(a) as a robust biomarker example with ongoing trials, and envisions multiplexed protein assays eventually enabling broader, cost-effective profiling that could transform biomarker assessment.
E36: Manuel Mayr
Q: Let's start by getting to know the person behind the science. Could you introduce yourself to our listeners? Who is Manuel Mayr beyond the titles and achievements?
Manuel Mayr describes his Austrian roots, his love of the Alps and skiing, and his journey from medicine into research. He explains that taking risks and seizing opportunities were important as his family moved to the UK, and he emphasizes that mentorship and choosing a path that excites you are central to scientific career development.
E35: Dagmar Kratky
Q: What are the biggest unanswered questions in lipid metabolism?
Identifying which lipases and acyltransferases remain undiscovered, understanding sex-specific and circadian regulation of lipid metabolism, and figuring out how to optimize timing of eating with lipid metabolism to improve cardiovascular therapies.
E35: Dagmar Kratky
Q: So what first drew you to studying lipid metabolism and this field of research?
I began in Hermann Esterbauer's group, where exposure to lipid metabolism and oxidative stress sparked my interest, followed by doctoral work on endothelial lipases that shaped my niche in macrophages and atherosclerosis.
