Dr. Robert Kiss is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at McGill University and an Associate Investigator at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) Glen site, where he works within the Cardiovascular Health Across the Lifespan Program and the Centre for Translational Biology.
His research focuses on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) biogenesis and hepatic lipid metabolism, particularly how liver cells store fat and how this contributes to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. He investigates intracellular cholesterol trafficking, lipoprotein assembly, and membrane dynamics using advanced microscopy and cell biology techniques.
Recent publications highlight his work on RAB18 GTPase in sterol mobilization, PCSK7 as a NAFLD therapeutic target, and structural analysis of apolipoproteins A-I and E4. His studies span cholesterol homeostasis, LDL/HDL pathways, and anti-atherosclerotic drug mechanisms.
