The department is actively involved in research in the following areas:
1) Understanding the mechanism of developmental origin of adult chronic diseases
2) Telomere biology
3) Regulation of endothelial progenitor cells
4) Single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in lipoprotein metabolism
5) Non invasive/minimally invasive methods of collection for measurement of analytes
