Lipids are the cell’s hydrophobic metabolites, and their self-assembly into bilayers creates membranes that are critical barriers and organizing platforms in cells. Lipids are a chemically diverse set of biological molecules subject to rapid metabolism and transport, and this dynamic behavior has motivated the development of methods across multiple disciplines for their detection and manipulation. Split into three parts, the Volumes on Lipids and Membranes provide a broad snapshot of the state of the art of methods for studying biological lipids and biomembranes. This part focuses on methods for lipid detection both by lipidomics-based mass spectrometry and by imaging, including both small-molecule and genetically encoded probes.
- Provides readers with the latest advances in the biochemistry of lipids and biological membranes

Jeremy M. Baskin
Jeremy M. Baskin is Associate Professor, Nancy and Peter Meinig Family Investigator in the Life Sciences, and Director of the Chemistry–Biology Interface Program at Cornell University, with appointments in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology. He was born and raised in Montreal, Canada and received his undergraduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a major in Chemistry and minors in Biology and Music. Jeremy carried out Ph.D. studies supported by NDSEG and NSF graduate fellowships in Carolyn Bertozzi’s group at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on development of bioorthogonal chemistries. Jeremy received postdoctoral training in lipid cell biology as a Jane Coffin Childs fellow at Yale University with Pietro De Camilli. Research in the Baskin lab centers on the chemical and cell biology of lipid metabolism and signaling. The Baskin lab exploits bioorthogonal chemistry to develop advanced tools for high-resolution lipid imaging and harnesses optogenetics and protein engineering for the design of membrane editors capable of spatiotemporal manipulation of the lipid composition of cellular membranes. Using these and other approaches, his lab elucidates novel mechanisms underlying physiological and pathological lipid metabolism and signaling events. Jeremy has been the recipient of numerous awards, including Beckman Young Investigator, Sloan Research Fellowship, NSF CAREER, ACS Young Academic Investigator, ASBMB Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator in Lipid Research, ICBS Young Chemical Biologist Award, and ACS Chemical Biology Young Investigator Award. He is currently Associate Editor at Biochemistry.
