Robinson leads team that writes statin guidance paper

Jennifer Robinson, professor of epidemiology in the University of Iowa College of Public Health and director of the Preventive Intervention Center, was the lead researcher on a team from the National Lipid Association that issued a statement paper providing clinicians with new guidance for the use of statins in select patients.

The guidance regarded lowering the price of the LDL-lowering drug PCSK9 mAbs in three groups of patients with high levels of LDL cholesterol, in order to increase access to those statins.
