    I think these SELECT top line results are the most important for preventive cardiology since the JUPITER trial. Incredible implications for our field. ml-eu.globenewswire.com/Resource/Downl…

    So happy for my two star senior research fellows! @HassanMirbolouk matched at Yale, and @solaorimoloye matched at Vanderbilt (one of my alma maters). Continues the great @CiccaroneCenter tradition! Can't wait to see development of my next group.
