The forthcoming Lipoprotein Exhibit will educate visitors on the various lipids and lipoproteins in the body and how they affect an individual’s cardiovascular health. The exhibit will highlight the work and discoveries made by the late Dr. Angelo Scanu, which advanced our understanding of the Lipoprotein(a) particle.
