History of the Meeting

History

The HDL Workshop was started in 2009 by Sean Davidson, Mary Sorci-Thomas and Jay Heinecke. The goal was to gather a small group of thought leaders to address specific controversies in HDL biology. For example, the first meeting was designed to hammer out differences between proponents of the double belt model for HDL's main protein vs. a double super-helix scheme. Originally intended to be held in off years between the biannual International HDL meetings, it became an annual workshop when the international meetings ceased. The meeting quickly grew in size and scope and now covers all aspects of HDL biology with an emphasis on dialog between basic researchers, trainees, clinical practitioners and pharmaceutical companies.
