Description of Itmat Expertise
The study of the structure-function relationships of plasma lipoproteins and apolipoproteins, and HDL-mediated cholesterol transport. A range of physical-biochemical methods are employed in conjunction with cell culture systems and, more recently, mouse models to generate mechanistic insights into these systems.Selected Publications
