A brief resume of advances in atherosclerosis research over the past 30 years is presented, emphasising the multidisciplinary origins of those advances. A somewhat more detailed review of progress in the lipoprotein field is presented as an example illustrative of the pace of research related to atherosclerosis. Finally, an attempt is made to identify some of the research areas that promise to yield valuable new insights in the next 30 years.
