Michael Page is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia (UWA) within the UWA Medical School's Pathology & Laboratory Medicine department. He holds an external position as Consultant Chemical Pathologist at Western Diagnostic Pathology. His research focuses on lipid metabolism disorders, particularly familial hypercholesterolemia, and their cardiovascular implications. Recent work includes investigations into lipoprotein(a) roles in aortic calcification, long-term outcomes of liver transplantation for homozygous FH, and genetic variants influencing coronary artery disease risk in FH patients. Collaborations span Australia and New Zealand with multidisciplinary teams in cardiology and endocrinology.

Research interests include:

• Molecular mechanisms of lipid disorders
• Clinical management of familial hypercholesterolemia
• Genetic determinants of atherosclerosis progression
• Surgical outcomes in endocrine disorders

His publications from 2022-2024 highlight advancements in understanding FH treatment efficacy, vascular calcification pathways, and adrenal gland surgical interventions. While no specific awards are listed, his h-index of 11 reflects impactful contributions to clinical lipidology.
