Ep. 2: Professor Ameer Taha on Lipid Oxidation, Linoleic Acid, OXLAMS

Tucker Goodrich: Debugging Life

I interview Prof. Ameer Taha of U.C. Davis on linoleic acid, lipid peroxidation, oxLAMs, and neurodegeneration.

A great discussion going over some of the seminal research he has done during his career.

We also discuss his surprising dream research project, one I think would yield major benefits if he were able to pursue it...

And his most recent (one I will be reading as soon as I finish posting this!):

"Polyunsaturated fatty acids and fatty acid-derived lipid mediators: Recent advances in the understanding of their biosynthesis, structures, and functions "
