- Research summary
- Molecular basis of polycystic kidney disease
Research
My main research interest is the study of a human disease called Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). This disorder affects up to 1 in 500 individuals and is a significant cause of renal failure in the population. I am interested in identifying the molecular pathways that lead to the progression of this disease, and investigating potential therapies for this condition.
