Research interests

The lipoproteins and atherosclerosis laboratory is investigating the body’s natural protective mechanism process which removes excess cholesterol from the vessel wall. This mechanism is dependent on two functions, the cells ability to transfer excess cholesterol to the plasma, and the plasma’s capacity to receive excess cholesterol from the cells. Understanding how these functions work, why and how the protective mechanism process breaks down and how to supplement this mechanisms if its activity is insufficient will assist in the development of therapeutics which will restore this process in patients where it is impaired or no longer working.
