“Using the lipidomics infrastructure at Ghent university allowed me to discover high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids in seafood harvested in Peru. This creates opportunities to optimize the feeding preferences of the local population and to promote a healthier diet.”
Iván Loaiza Alamo, Facultad de Biología Marina, Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima, Perú
