Message from the Chair

Katey Rayner, PhD, FAHA

It is a tremendous honor to serve as the new Chair of the Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB). I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such an extraordinary community of investigators, clinicians, trainees, educators, and volunteers who continue to advance our understanding of atherosclerosis, lipids, thrombosis, vascular biology, and everything in between.
