This research program is concerned with lipoprotein metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis. A focus is on understanding the molecular basis for the inverse relationship between plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels and the risk of premature coronary artery disease. The range of scientific disciplines covered by the investigators encompass cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, protein chemistry, and animal physiology.
