The team is grateful for the considerable contributions of Dr. Eckel as the founder of the Cardiometabolic & Advanced Lipid Clinic. Dr. Eckel's translational research has incorporated data from populations, human subjects in the Clinical Translational Research Center, genetically-modified mice and tissue culture to pursue mechanistic relationships between metabolic disorders such as obesity/metabolic syndrome/diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
