Catherine Martel obtained her PhD in 2009 from the Université de Montréal and pursued her postdoctoral training at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, followed by research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, where she was awarded the Junior Investigator Award from the American Heart Association (ATVB). Her research focuses on the role of lymphatic vessels in atherosclerosis, particularly in understanding how macrophages contribute to cholesterol accumulation in arterial walls and the immune response. Her clinical studies aim to devise strategies for preventing atherosclerosis by enhancing the removal of cholesterol from atherosclerotic blood vessel walls. Recent collaborations have identified the lymphatic system as a key player in modulating cholesterol removal from arterial walls. Her overarching research goal is to develop novel therapies targeting atherosclerosis through a comprehensive understanding of lymphatic function.
