Leducq Foundation awards $15 million to advance the understanding of atherosclerosis

The Leducq Foundation has awarded $15 million to researchers at UVA Health and their collaborators to advance our understanding of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, and find better ways to treat it. Diseases linked to atherosclerosis are the leading cause of death in the United States.
