Laboratory approaches for predicting and managing the risk of cardiovascular disease: postanalytical opportunities of lipid and lipoprotein testing
-
Michel R. Langlois
Dr. Michel Langlois, born October 13, 1967 studied Medicine at the University of Ghent, Belgium and specialized in Laboratory Medicine with emphasis on clinical chemistry and cardiovascular diagnostics. He presented his PhD thesis on the haptoglobin polymorphism in 1997, followed by his postdoctoral research on iron metabolism and oxidative stress in 1998 – 2001. Since 2001, he continued his activities in clinical chemistry and lipidology at AZ St-Jan hospital, Bruges, combined with a position of Professor at Ghent University (since 2009). Prof. Langlois is current President of the Royal Belgian Society of Clinical Chemistry (RBSCC), Vice-President of the Belgian Lipid Club (Belgian Atherosclerosis Society), and member of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFCC) Working Groups “Cardiac Markers” and “Guidelines”. For his research in risk biomarkers of atherosclerosis he received 9 scientifi c awards. Prof. Langlois is Editorial Board member of the journal
Clinica Chimica Acta and a scientifi c reviewer for many other international journals includingCCLM.
