Februray 12-13, 2001


During the 1st international conference, significant advances were presented towards the research and development of effective therapeutics for elevating the HDL Cholesterol level and lowering the risk of coronary heart disease. Once again, the 2001 conference showcases leading academic and industry researchers from around the world who will present the latest in exciting new discoveries to influence the HDL Cholesterol metabolic pathway, including such areas as:

Transfer proteins and receptors
* New CETP inhibitors
* Lipoprotein receptors as drug targets
Transcription Factors and Nuclear Receptors
* RXR as a possible drug discovery target
* The role of PPAR in cardiovascular diseases
Clinical and genetic studies
* HATS ¥ VA-HIT ¥ Genetic variations
ABC1 Transporter Protein
Expression and regulation of ABC1
* cellular trafficking of ABC1
Scavenger Receptor B Type 1
* Binding capacities, variants and regulation
* SRB1 and reverse cholesterol transport
