The KinMet Meetings
For more than thirty years researchers have been meeting to present and discuss research focused on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in in vivo and in vitro systems, the use of tracer studies and mathematical modeling. Historically, meetings were held before or following the November American Heart Association Scientific Meetings. More recently, KinMet meetings have been held on the afternoon prior to the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology Annual Conference (ATVB) meeting held in April or May each year. The KinMet meeting is broadly divided into three sessions:
- Modeling - mathematical models, tracer data, modeling techniques
- ApoB Kinetics and Metabolism
- HDL Kinetics and Metabolism
KinMet meetings are informal and provide a forum for all researchers, including postgraduate students, to present some preliminary data, a complete research study or to discuss issues related to experimental design and analysis.
Awards
Each year awards are presented to honor the memories of Mones Berman and Loren Zech. Mones and Loren made significant contributions to the fields of mathematical modeling and lipoprotein physiology. Past awardees of the Berman Zech Award for metabolic modeling.
The Robert I Levy Award is presented to a researcher who has made valuable contributions to the field of lipoprotein metabolism. Bob Levy made significant contributions to the fields of lipid metabolism, dyslipoproteinemia, and coronary heart disease. Past awardees of the Levy Award for lipoprotein metabolism.
