The Cardiovascular and Lipid Disorders Division of our Graduate Program is comprised of 11 investigators that study several different areas of disease. Students can study the disease processes leading to heart disease, the number one cause of death in men and women, the obesity epidemic, or developmental abnormalities caused by alterations in lipid metabolism.

Foci of study are varied and include studies of blood vessel walls, the liver, the intestine, adipose tissue, the brain, embryonic tissues, and cell culture models of each system.

This well funded group of researchers receives support from a variety of organizations including NIH, the American Heart Association, and the USDA.
