Read MoreWe study metabolism of the endo-lysosomal system, and its relationship to cancer and neurodegenertive disease (such as FTD, ALS, Alzheimers).
Read MoreWe employ techniques such as mass spectrometry, genome-perturbations screens, and high-content microcopy to generate hypotheses or models for biological processes.
Read MoreRobert V. Farese, MD is a Professor of Genetics and Complex Diseases at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He talks about about Integrity and excellence in communication are important to his research brand. Bob also shares a unique organizational structure for running a lab. Music from Podington Bear.

Program Chair, Cell Biology Program, SKI Enid A. Haupt Chair, MSKCC Professor, Weill Cornell Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)
Visiting Investigator (HHMI)
I am building a software platform for analyzing and storing lipidomics data.
Research Associate
My background is in analytical chemistry and I apply my expertise to better understand the links between lipid metabolism and common diseases, such as neurodegeneration or cancer.
Research Associate
I am from Spain and love outdoors activities and sports. I came to the Farese and Walther lab driven by curiosity to mechanistically understand lipid droplets. Now, I work on understanding how proteins organize lipid droplet formation, and how proteins target lipid droplets.
Senior Research Specialist (HHMI)
I have some 20 years of experience in life science industry. Currently, I am working on novel approaches to modulate metabolism and to target cancer.
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am a cancer biologist and study pathways of lipid metabolism in tumorgenesis
Graduate Student
I am studying lysosomal biology and lipid turnover
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am a biochemist, structural and cell biologist interested in mechanisms of lipid metabolism.
Research Technician (HHMI)
I have an undergraduate degree in Biology and Society and am interested in cancer therapeutics. When not running cell based assays, I enjoy experimenting with new coffee flavors.
Postdoctoral Fellow (joint with W. Harper lab at Harvard)
I work on the mechanisms that target proteins to lipid droplets
Assistant to Dr. Walther (Chair) and Dr. Farese
Scientific Administrative Coordinator
After working as a research technician at CSHL and a genetic counselor assistant at GeneDx, I have found myself jumping back into research as I prepare for graduate school. I joined the Farese and Walther Lab to learn more about lipid metabolism at the cellular/sub-cellular level. I primarily assist the lab by handling important scientific regulatory and administrative affairs to prevent any obstacles impeding our scientific output.
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am a HFSP postdoc fellow in the lab. I graduated from IISER-Pune in 2021 and joined our lab to study lysosomal lipid metabolism in context to neuro-immune diseases. I am broadly interested in understanding various aspects of lipid physiology in the development and maintenance of central nervous system.
Lab Manager
I studied neuroscience during my graduate career but now I am the peacemaker, also known as the Lab Manager of the Farese and Walther Lab. When I'm not placing orders or re-organizing the lab, I love to listen to Beyoncé, Twice, and Bad Bunny.
Research Specialist (HHMI)
I am an interdisciplinary expert in biology and optics in the F&W lab. I use Lattice light-sheet microscope to study lipid droplet biogenesis.
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am interested in the pathways of triglyceride synthesis. Now I am working on the feedback regulation of lipogenesis
Research Technician
I have an undergraduate degree in Biophysics. I’m deeply involved in both the operational side of our mass spectrometer and in the analytical side of lipidomics. In my spare time I like playing chess and climbing rocks.
Undergraduate Researcher
I am working on the biochemistry of lipid synthesis
