NExTLi

The National Expert Center for Translational Lipidomics

NExTLi is a coordinated national research infrastructure enabling structurally resolved, spatially anchored, and flux-informed lipidomics — with expert guidance and FAIR-by-design data handling to make mechanistic lipid biology accessible at national scale.

What NExTLi enables

  • Structural lipidomics: classes, species, isomers
  • Low-input workflows (small samples, spatially defined regions)
  • Spatially anchored experiments (integration with imaging/MSI)
  • Metabolic tracing / flux-informed interpretation
  • FAIR-by-design data & analysis portal
