Neale D. Ridgway is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Dalhousie University. He has been a faculty member since 1991, focusing on cell biology, cholesterol, and lipid research. His work investigates intracellular cholesterol transport pathways and their implications for cardiovascular diseases. He studies the mechanisms by which cholesterol low-density lipoproteins are deposited in artery walls and how high-density lipoproteins facilitate cholesterol removal through the liver. Ridgway's research is supported by his investigations into oxysterol binding proteins (OSBPs) and their role in cholesterol metabolism and cellular homeostasis. He is particularly interested in the regulatory mechanisms that control cholesterol transport and metabolism at the cellular level, including the significance of phosphatidylcholine in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Ridgway has contributed extensively to the field through numerous publications, focusing on lipid synthesis, cell signaling, and the pathological roles of lipid metabolism in cancer.
