Zimmer, President of the University of Chicago; Piermaria Oddone, Fermilab Director; Eric Isaacs, Argonne National Laboratory Director, and Trudy Vincent, UChicago Associate Vice President for Federal Relations, discuss the promise and challenges of doing big science. Steve Edwards, Deputy Director, Programming, UChicago Institute of Politics, is moderator of the discussion, which took place on May 16, 2013, at the Museum of Science and Industry. The event was the seventh in a series of Joint Speaker programs begun in 2010 by the University's Office of the Vice President for Research and for National Laboratories. The purpose of the series is to build connections and spark collaborations among University faculty members and scientists, researchers, and engineers at Argonne and Fermilab.

Coronary disease is one of the world's biggest killers. According to the American Heart Association, approximately 80 million Americans suffer from at least one type of cardiovascular disease. Currently there are few options to reverse or slow down the progression of the damage caused by hardening of the arteries.Dr. Godfrey Getz (Donald N. Pritzker distinguished service professor in pathology, biochemistry, and molecular biology) and his colleagues are developing a new approach with the potential to undo the damage. It focuses on modifying the protective properties of HDL (the good cholesterol). Learn about his discovery and his collaboration with the University's Office of Technology and Intellectual Property to bring this promising medicine to the public.
