User:Ian Kates/VLDL Receptor Project
Introduction
This is the project proposal for the creation of the Wikipedia page for the VLDL receptor (Very Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor). This project for BI481 Introduction to Neuroscience to help expand the field of neuroscience for the Society for Neuroscience.
Members working on this project: Ian Kates, Katie Czepiel, and Jennifer Goldberg.
The project page can be found here.
