In human beings, the blood levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.  In general, the higher your HDL (or “good” cholesterol) level, the lower your risk for heart disease later in life.  These diseases are currently the #1 killer in this country, claiming nearly 1 million lives per year (about one person dead every 32 seconds).  In addition, these diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent in developing countries as they consume higher fat diets common to Western lifestyles.

 A major cause of cardiovascular disease is the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels such as those that supply oxygen to the heart or brain.  Unresolved cycles of inflammatory response result in the accumulation of fatty plaques in the artery wall - a condition called atherosclerosis.  These plaques can constrict blood flow through the artery or even rupture to produce a blood clot or thrombus. If this happens in the coronary arteries supplying the heart, one has a heart attack.  In the brain, this can cause a stroke.  Although we know that HDL levels are inversely related to atherosclerosis, the detailed mechanisms for its protective role are not well understood

The mission of my laboratory is to determine the molecular basis underlying the protective effect of high density lipoproteins (HDL) against inflammation and atherosclerosis.  We use a wide range of techniques spanning biophysical chemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology to understand: 1) the structural organization of the major HDL apolipoproteins and their transitions in response to lipid, 2) the molecular details of HDL interactions with cell surface receptors and transporters, 3) the protein and lipid compositions of HDL subspecies and their plasma distribution in the settings of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, and 4) the specific functions of the many HDL proteins and how they interact on the particle.

The overarching goal is to use this understanding to design new therapies aimed at enhancing the protective effects of HDL against human disease.
