Professional Statement
I have had a long interest in the role that lipoproteins play in causing atherosclerotic vascular disease. My career at Baylor has focused on both the clinical research into new therapies for dyslipidemia and in the management of challenging dyslipidemias in high risk patients. I have also been involved in the medical management of obesity as another method to reduce the metabolic risks associated with vascular disease.
