Curriculum Vitae

Research Interest

My current area of interest focuses on the metabolic bases for the the early events in atherosclerosis, in particular, the role of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in the development of the fatty streak. Using a genetic approach, as well as molecular and biochemical techniques, we investigate the dynamics between lipoproteins and cells of the artery wall in the disease process.
