INTERNAL MEDICINE RESEARCH
We focus on the role of reverse cholesterol transport in atheroprotection.
Dr. Rohatgi’s research interests include heart-disease risk prediction, high-density lipoproteins (HDL, or “good cholesterol”), inflammation, and atherosclerosis. He also teaches cardiology trainees, internal medicine residents, and medical students.
