Research project funded by NIH to study the role of modified HDL in atherogenesis and its impact on cardiovascular disease, aiming to identify new therapeutic strategies.
Description
This is a research project funded by NIH, focusing on the role of modified HDL in atherogenesis. The research aims to study how natural or environmental stresses render high density lipoprotein (HDL) dysfunctional so that it can no longer protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD). The outcomes will provide a better understanding of the mechanisms by which dysfunctional HDL promotes atherogenic pathways and could help identify novel therapeutic strategies for preventing atherosclerosis.
