La NSFA encourage les chercheurs issus de laboratoires de recherche français à participer au congrès de l’European Lipoprotein Club (ELC). En 2019, la NSFA a accordé une aide financière de 400€ à une sélection de communications acceptées par le comité scientifique de l’ELC et présentées au congrès de la NSFA 2019. Cette année, nous étions 12 français à participer à ce meeting, nous propulsant au deuxième rang derrière les Pays-Bas (cocorico !!!), avec 8 subventions de la NSFA de 400 euros. Notre contingent a pu ainsi proposer 5 communications orales et présenter 6 posters.

Nous vous proposons ici quelques témoignages vidéos du congrès, ainsi que quelques photos illustrant le déroulement du programme proposé.
