会议部分特邀专家和讲座简介：

l Fredrik Bäckhed：Role of microbiota in atherosclerosis

Fredrik Bäckhed is Professor at the University of Gothenburg, Director of the Wallenberg Laboratory for Cardiovascular Research, and co-director for the Center for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. His research has been focused on investigating the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic disease, using a combination of clinical-oriented research and gnotobiotic mouse models. Professor Bäckhed has been the recipient of numerous awards including in 2013, the Prince Daniel Grant for promising young researchers and the DuPont Young Professor Award.

l Ira Tabas：Immunity in atherosclerosis

Ira Tabas is the Richard J. Stock Professor and Vice-Chair of Research in the Department of Medicine and Professor of Pathology & Cell Biology (in Physiology and Cellular Biophysics), Columbia University, New York, USA. Professor Tabas' research focuses on the molecular-cellular mechanisms of atherosclerosis, with an emphasis on macrophage cell biology, endoplasmic reticulum-induced cell death (apoptosis), mechanisms involved in the generation of clinically dangerous atherosclerotic plaques, translational work in mouse models of atherosclerosis, and mechanistic-based correlative studies on human disease tissue. His recent activities have expanded into mechanisms of atherosclerosis in diabetes and obesity, including new studies on liver and adipose tissue.
