Lipoprotein(a) Epidemiology

Lead: Florian Kronenberg   
Co-Lead: Claudia Lamina    Barbara Kollerits   

Although Lp(a) is well established as a causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease, many questions still deserve further research. We are interested in the genetic and non-genetic factors which are influencing Lp(a) concentrations.
