Research description

My research activites focus on the genetic and pharmacological modulation of lipoprotein composition, size and functions (i.e. for HDL the in vitro cholesterol efflux capacity as potential atheroprotechive mechanism, and for LDL the binding to arterial proteoglycans, an atherogenic mechanism). The main aim is to find a link between changes in lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular diseases.
