The British Society for Ecological Medicine (BSEM) invites healthcare practitioners and researchers to Bioactive Lipids: Expanding Horizons of Membrane Medicine, an international scientific event taking place in London on Friday 6 November 2026, with in-person and online attendance options.

Bringing together leading clinicians and scientists from across lipid research, neuroscience, immunology, cardiovascular medicine, microbiology and metabolic health, the event will explore the increasingly important role of lipids in human health and disease.

From the structural and signalling functions of membrane lipids to specialised pro-resolving mediators, DHA and neurological health, mitochondrial cardiolipin, the microbiome and short-chain fatty acids, the programme examines how advances in lipidomics and systems biology are reshaping our understanding of inflammation, immune regulation, cellular communication, mitochondrial function, neuroprotection and tissue repair.

The impressive speaker programme includes Professor Michael Crawford, Professor Charles Serhan, Professor Dipak Ramji, Dr Irina Gruschina, Dr Patricia Kane PhD, Dr Damien Downing and Dr Andreas Grossgold, offering an opportunity to hear directly from internationally recognised experts working at the forefront of these fields.

With its emphasis on connecting scientific research with clinical practice, this event will be particularly relevant to practitioners working in functional, integrative, nutritional and ecological medicine, as well as those interested in inflammatory, neurological, cardiovascular and metabolic conditions.

The main conference is available in person or online, with recording access also available. 6.5 CPD points have been applied for. An exclusive, invitation-only clinical workshop will follow on Saturday 7 November, focusing on practical, case-based approaches to lipid medicine and integrative therapeutics.
