My laboratory investigates cardiovascular traits and cardiovascular risk by a number of genetic, clinical, and public-health approaches. Primary hypertension and blood lipids are two of our main foci.

Li Lin, PhD (Postdoctoral fellow) My main interests are the genetic determinants of human blood lipids as a complex and monogenic trait. My main focus is currently the sequencing of familial hypercholesterolemia genes in large population-based and myocardial infarction samples from Switzerland. I received my PhD from the Technische Universität München with post-doctoral work at the University of Liège in animal genomics.
