Postdoctoral Training in
Arteriosclerosis Research |
| Columbia University has an NIH supported, multidisciplinary training program in arteriosclerosis research. This program supports individuals with MD or PhD degrees for a period of one to three years. The program includes laboratories and clinical units from the Departments of Medicine, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Physiology, Surgery, and Cell Biology. Areas of investigation are directed at major questions in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, coronary artery disease, atherogenesis, vascular biology, retinoid metabolism, epidemiology, and behavioral medicine. Induced mutant mouse models of disease are central to the work of several laboratories; cell and molecular biologic approaches are actively used. Additionally there are opportunities for clinical investigation. Research and training efforts are closely coordinated by integrating themes and a variety of scientific collaborations. |
