From 23 to 26 September 2024, the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (IUEM) in Brest hosted the 19th GERLI Lipidomics Meeting, organized by the Université de Bretagne Occidentale, IRD, CNRS and IFREMER. The event brought together experts in lipidomics to discuss advances in understanding the structure and function of lipids in aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Subproject 1 was represented by the University of Aveiro, which presented innovative studies on the bioactive lipids of Gelidium corneum and Dunaliella salina, with potential applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors. Rita Pais and Joana Dias, as part of Subprojects SP1a and SP1b, presented posters entitled ‘Uncovering the Functional Lipidome of Dunaliella salina: Bioactive Lipids with Potential Nutraceutical Applications’ and ‘Upgrading the Lipidome of Gelidium corneum biomass and byproducts as sources of added-value lipids and bioactive ingredients’ respectively.
