Claude Leray, PhD, earned his PhD in biology from Marseille
University, France, in 1968. During and after this first research
period, he specialized in fish biology. In 1971, he joined the
faculty at the Department of Biology, University of Montréal,
Québec, Canada, where he held the rank of associate professor for
three years. In 1974, Dr. Leray joined the National Center for
Scientific Research as research director, at the University of
Strasbourg, France, where he developed works on fish, focusing on
the influence of dietary lipids on the gill and intestine membrane
composition, mainly in the context of the animal salinity
changes.
He collaborated on several projects including the importance of n-3
fatty acids in the physiology of rat adipose tissue (Ecology and
Energetic Physiology Center, National Center for Scientific
Research, Strasbourg) and human platelets (Blood Transfusion
Center, National Institute of Health and Medical Research,
Strasbourg). His main fields of interest are fatty acids and
phospholipids. Dr. Leray has published extensively in the field of
lipid and membrane biochemistry. He is the founder and creator of
the website: www.cyberlipid.org. He published two books on
lipidomics: one in French (Les lipides dans le monde
vivant—Introduction à la lipidomique, Lavoisier, 2010) and one in
English (Introduction to Lipidomics—From Bacteria to Man, CRC
Press, 2013). Recently, he published a book in French on the
relationships between lipids and health (Les Lipides—Nutrition et
Santé, Lavoisier, 2013).
