Lipid scientist.
Scientific partner.

PhD scientist with deep expertise in lipid biology, lipidomics, and omics data science. Based in Hamilton, Ontario. Working with clients in Canada, the United States, and Brazil.

José Carlos Bozelli Jr., PhD

I am a lipid scientist who built the analytical workflows to study lipids at scale — and learned to write the code to make sense of the data. That breadth — from lipid metabolism to LC-MS method development to statistical pipelines — is what makes the difference between data and insight.

That foundation shapes how I approach lipidomics data. Most lipidomics consultants come from the analytical chemistry or data science side and learned the biology later. I come from the biology — and developed the analytical and computational expertise to work with large-scale LC-MS datasets, build QC frameworks, and integrate omics data layers.

My most recent academic role at McMaster University involved large-scale LC-MS lipidomics on a nationally representative cross-sectional pediatric study — over 5,000 samples across 26 analytical batches. That project required designing and validating QC pipelines capable of handling population-scale biological complexity.

I work fluently in English and Portuguese — which allows me to serve clients and communicate science across different markets with equal depth and cultural fluency.

Three principles that
shape every engagement

Know your lipids?

I do — from lipid metabolism to clinical biomarkers. A decade of fundamental lipid biology means I read your data through a biological lens, not just a statistical one.

Data without insight is noise.

I clear the noise so you get the insight. From study design through analysis and publication — every step is connected, nothing gets lost in translation.

You work directly with me, and I understand your science.

Direct access, real expertise, end to end. I work with a small number of clients at a time — which means you always have my full attention.
