In this episode, Drs. Harris and Jackson speak with Dr. Richard Bazinet about the nitty-gritty details of EPA and DHA metabolism. Dr. Bazinet received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 2003 and followed that up with a post-doctoral fellowship at the NIH National Institute on Aging with Dr. Rapoport. He then he returned back to the University of Toronto in 2006, where he is currently a professor and the Canada research chair in brain lipid metabolism. He's also a past president of ISSFAL, the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids, and his overall research focus is to identify the mechanisms that regulate brain lipid metabolism and how those mechanisms may give us clues about pathophysiology of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.
