Associate Professor Robin Klemm has edited a special issue for Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology. “The molecular cell biology, metabolism and physiological functions of lipid droplets” provides an overview of the most recent developments in the field of lipid droplets, which are important storage organelles at the centre of lipid and energy homeostasis. Prof Klemm joined DPAG in June 2020, bringing with him a new field of research for the department, focusing on the molecular basis of lipid metabolism in professional fat storing cells called adipocytes. His research will impact our basic understanding of the cellular basis of fat metabolism and could lead to innovative new therapies to tackle metabolic disorders such as type II diabetes and obesity.

Supporting our Staff
The Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) is committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and students. Our policies and practices support that commitment and we hope that the following resources will be useful to you during your time with us.
Women in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics
Following the centenary of women making history at Oxford University, DPAG celebrates and reflects on the pioneering female staff and students to come through the department's doors.
Our History
Medicine has been taught at the University of Oxford for at least eight centuries, producing a succession of famous figures and landmarks in research and learning. Whilst the Department in its current form is only just over a decade old, physiology and anatomy have played an important role in the history of medicine at Oxford since the beginning.
