    Collapse Overview
    The Bensinger Laboratory is in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics at the University of California, Los Angeles. We apply cutting-edge techniques to understand how lipid metabolism influences cell fate and function. Our work aims to find new ways to extend health and treat human diseases.
