Achim Lass is a molecular biologist and Associate Professor at the
Institute of Molecular Biosciences
of the University of Graz.
Research interests:
His main research areas include identification and characterization of mammalian lipases that are
involved in the mobilization of neutral lipids. Potential candidate genes for the hydrolysis of
neutral lipid esters are identified in proteomic or genetic approaches. The physiological role of
these candidate genes are then studied in in vitro activity assays and cell experiments
employing overexpression and silencing techniques. For some genes, studies are extended to transgenic
or knock-out mouse models.
