Institute of Lipidology, Obesity and Cardiometabolic Diseases

The Institute of Lipidology, Obesity and Cardiometabolic Diseases is a leading center of expertise in Ukraine in the field of prevention and treatment of disorders related to lipid metabolism, obesity, and cardiometabolic diseases.

Our activity is focused on studying the mechanisms of lipid metabolism disorders, such as hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, and their association with cardiovascular diseases. We investigate the relationship between blood lipid levels and the risk of developing atherosclerosis, strokes, and myocardial infarction.

Special attention is paid to genetic disorders, such as familial hypercholesterolemia, and to the development of effective methods for their treatment.

The Institute is also engaged in the development and implementation of modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to obesity, including dietary, pharmacological, and surgical interventions.
