IAS Fellowship Award Winner

Congratulations to Tommaso Fasano, MD for winning the 2007 IAS Visiting Fellowship Award. Dr. Fasano was awarded a 6-month grant to study in the Research Laboratory of Dr. Anne Soutar in London.

About Dr. Fasano

RESEARCH INTERESTS

  • Dr. Fasano wishes to extend his expertise in the field of molecular pathology of dyslipidemias and to acquire new tools to apply to the functional analysis of the putative loss of function PCSK9 mutants.
  • He is particularly interested in the study of genotype-phenotype correlations in monogenic dyslipidemias.
