The NYU School of Medicine and the NYU Medical Center, are taking a multi-disciplinary approach towards achieving the goal of diminishing the morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. Scientists and physicians at NYU work together quite closely - investigators in The Marc and Ruti Bell Vascular Biology and Disease Program focus on exploring the biology of diseases of the vasculature, while physicians in the NYU Lipid Treatment & Research Center work to lower the chance of heart attacks by focusing on the treatment of the most established risk factors recognized today, which are disorders of the blood levels of the fats (lipids) carried by lipoprotein particles, such as VLDL, LDL, and HDL.

The program is staffed by an expert faculty group which has extensive experience in both treatment and research aspects of lipid disorders and who are recognized thought leaders in the continuing effort to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors.

The program is backed by a state of the art patient assessment facility and convenient consultative services at the NYU Medical Center.
