| Kursens syfte | Atherosclerosis will be discussed from the molecular, cellular, genetic, clinical and epidemiological viewpoints. Therefore, participants with a medical background will have the possibility to be more exposed to experimental work and, conversely, participants with a non-medical background will be enabled to obtain good knowledge of distinct clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis. This will be useful for, among others, bioinformaticians in the field. In addition, the course gives the participants the possibility to network with other students in the cardiovascular field. |

1. Relate risk factors with the pathology of atherosclerosis 2. Discuss the development of the atherosclerotic lesion on cellular and molecular level 3. Motivate the use of different models (in vitro-, epidemiological, animal model) to study atherosclerosis and apply them to a given project. |
