The DZNE German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases within the Helmholtz Association in Bonn, Germany, recognized Dr. Nicolas Bazan, the Boyd Professor and director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health New Orleans, for his work in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.

Bazan’s lab discovered elovanoids, a new class of molecules in the brain that synchronize cell-to-cell communication and neuroinflammation/immune activity in response to injury or diseases. Elovanoids are bioactive chemical messengers made from omega-3 very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are released on demand when cells are damaged or stressed.
