For almost three decades, our research group has been at the forefront of lipidology, exploring the fascinating world of lipoproteins and their profound impact on human health. Through the use of innovative animal models and cutting-edge molecular methodologies, we seek to uncover the molecular secrets that govern lipid metabolism and its role in disease, always driven by the vision of translating basic discoveries into better health outcomes.

Our preclinical research is dedicated to deciphering the molecular connections between the lipoprotein transport system and complex metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia, morbid obesity, and diabetes. By probing these mechanisms, we aim to identify novel pharmacological targets that could pave the way for the development of personalized, precision therapies tailored to individual metabolic profiles.

Complementing our preclinical work, our clinical studies focus on deepening our understanding of pharmacotherapy and the potential synergistic effects between therapeutic agents that can enhance efficacy and safety. We have very active collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry, offering expert consulting services in drug development, post-marketing evaluation, drug safety assessment, and the optimization of therapeutic regimens.

Central to our success is the interdisciplinary nature of our team. The scientists in our laboratory come from diverse backgrounds such as biochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacy, molecular biology, and clinical medicine, creating a dynamic research environment where different perspectives converge to solve complex biomedical challenges.

Through this website, we invite you to get to know our team members, explore our work and publications in leading international journals, and learn about the research services and scientific collaborations that drive our mission forward. You will also find updates on our latest research highlights, as well as a collection of educational videos available in the e-Learning section, designed to share our knowledge with students, colleagues, and the wider scientific community.

Thank you for taking this virtual tour of our laboratory. We hope you enjoy exploring our work and discovering how our passion for lipoprotein research continues to advance the science of human health.

On behalf of the whole team,

Kyriakos E. Kypreos
Professor of Pharmacology and 
Chairman of Pharmacology Laboratory
