Professor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Dr. Frank M. Sacks is Professor of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health. He is also Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a senior attending physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital where he has a specialty clinic in hyperlipidemia in the cardiovascular division. He is involved in research and public policy in lipid disorders, hypertension, nutrition, and cardiovascular disease.

His research program is a combination of laboratory research on human lipoprotein metabolism, and clinical trials that focus on nutrition and cardiovascular disease. The laboratory research concerns the acute and long-term effects of dietary and drug treatments on the function of lipoproteins in humans; the function in humans of specific apolipoproteins in VLDL, LDL, and HDL including apoC-III and apoE; metabolic pathways for HDL subtypes involved in reverse cholesterol transport in humans; and epidemiology of the relation between lipoprotein particle types based on apolipoprotein composition and CVD.
