Listen to our two recent podcast episodes
We’re excited to bring you new episodes of our podcast, featuring two brilliant experts in cardiovascular research.
In episode 7, we sit down with Prof. Florian Kronenberg, a leading expert in genetic epidemiology, to explore the latest breakthroughs in Lp(a) research.
As a key contributor to the EAS Consensus Statement on Lp(a), Prof. Kronenberg sheds light on how these guidelines are shaping clinical practice, debunks common misconceptions – including confusion around Lp(a) thresholds – and highlights the biggest unanswered questions in the field. We also discuss upcoming significant events in the Lp(a) area, such as the Lp(a) International Task Force and the 1st Global Lp(a) Summit, which bring together KOLs, patients, and policymakers to advocate for real change. At the end, Prof. Kronenberg talks about his role as Deputy Editor of the Atherosclerosis Journal.
Episode 8 is a special one! We have an inspiring conversation with Dr Mate Kiss, winner of the Young Investigator Award in Basic Science for 2023, who takes us through his groundbreaking research on the cell-autonomous regulation of complement C3 by factor H and its impact on macrophage efferocytosis and atherosclerosis, published in Immunity.
Dr Kiss shares his journey as an early-career scientist, key insights from his award-winning work, and the challenges he overcame. We also dive into his latest research on the intriguing connection between sleep and atherosclerosis.
