Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to The 8^th International Congress on Lipid & Atherosclerosis (ICoLA 2019) and The 58^th Conference of the Korean Society of Lipid & Atherosclerosis, which will be held at the Conrad Hotel in Seoul, Korea from September 5 to 7, 2019.

Since ICoLA was first launched in 2012, it has steadily gained international recognition and influence through the success of its congresses. ICoLA is now positioned to make a global impact by providing a platform for communication, cooperation and collaboration among international participants in the field of lipid metabolism, vascular biology and atherosclerosis.

At ICoLA 2019, we would like to open up the opportunity for participants to explore and discuss a wide variety of issues in basic and clinical research relevant to lipids, atherosclerosis, and other areas of interest.

We are confident that the congress will offer more to see, learn, and experience than ever before, and we invite you to create unforgettable memories here in Korea. Please join us in making this year’s ICoLA a meaningful event.

We look forward to seeing you at ICoLA 2019!
