Philip Barter is Director of The Heart Research Institute, in Sydney, Australia, and also a Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney. He graduated in medicine from the University of Adelaide and gained his PhD from the Australian National University. He is a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. He is currently President Elect of the International Atherosclerosis Society. He is also a member of the International Task Force for Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease and is a member of the executive of the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk. He has previously held positions in research institutes and universities in Australia and the US. His basic research interests are plasma lipids and lipoproteins, specifically high density lipoproteins, the factors that regulate them and the mechanism by which they protect against cardiovascular disease. His clinical research involves participation in clinical trials of lipid-lowering agents. He was a member of the steering committees of the FIELD study and the TNT study, was co-chair of steering committee of the DEFINE study and was chairman of the steering committee of the ILLUMINATE trial. He is currently a member of the steering committees of the dal-OUTCOMES trial and the REVEAL HPS-3 TIMI-55 trial, two large-scale clinical outcome trials assessing the efficacy of new CETP inhibitors. He has published more than 250 peer-reviewed research papers on plasma lipids and lipoproteins, their metabolism, regulation, function and relationship to atherosclerosis. He has also written handbooks on HDL and CETP inhibitors. Recognising that atherosclerosis has become a major global epidemic, he is committed to the development of atherosclerosis research and education programs in countries beyond North America and Western Europe, including South and Southeast Asia, South and Central America, the Middle East and Africa.
