CONGRATULATIONS TO SILVIA HILT! - Undergraduate poster award winner, 2008 annual meeting of the Protein Society. See Silvia's picture at the CSUPERB meeting last January, below.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in American men and women. One of the major factors in heart disease is blood cholesterol, which is carried by lipoproteins. One of the most commonly used risk factors for heart disease is the serum level of HDL (high density lipoprotein) and LDL (low density lipoprotein). High HDL and low LDL levels are correlated with reduced risk for heart disease. HDL lowers the risk for CVD because it elicits the removal of cholesterol from cells in peripheral tissues. This process is facilitated by the major protein in HDL, apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I). In my laboratory, we are interested in the structure-function relationships of apo A-I.
