Funded Activity Summary

Heart attacks and stroke, underpinned by atherosclerosis, are the number one cause of deaths in our community. While statin reduces cholesterol, there is no treatment to reduce the inflammation initiated by cholesterol entry into blood vessel walls. Our studies are directed towards precise identification of subsets of an inflammatory cell (B lymphocyte) that promote or attenuate atherosclerosis.Therapeutic targeting of these subsets has potential to reduce the inflammation in atherosclerosis
