Biology alumna Leslie McCauliff, Ph.D., has published an important paper in the biochemistry journal eLife on how cells transport cholesterol.
Dr. McCauliff’s study, which she conducted as a Ph.D. student at Rutgers University, demonstrates how cells transport cholesterol and potential methods to combat disorders of cellular cholesterol trafficking. These findings could lead to new therapeutics for an array of cholesterol related disease, including genetically tailored, patient-specific therapies.
