Dr. Robin Du is a Senior Research Associate at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), focusing on the molecular mechanisms of intracellular lipid trafficking and their implications in metabolic disorders and cancer. He earned his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics from UNSW in 2007. His research investigates the roles of lipid distribution and metabolism, particularly through the study of cholesterol homeostasis and lipid transfer proteins. Dr. Du has developed a keen interest in the functions of lipid transfer proteins like Niemann-Pick Type C proteins and oxysterol-binding proteins. His extensive research has contributed to significant advances in understanding intracellular lipid signaling and distribution, particularly in relation to central metabolic pathways and diseases. Dr. Du leads a research team at UNSW that focuses on the dynamics of organellar membrane lipids, contributing to high-profile publications in peer-reviewed journals such as Cell, Nature, and Science. He actively participates in the academic community as a referee for leading journals and as a member of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB).
