Research Focus

My research focuses on better understanding factors that influence kidney disease onset and progression, and their related complications. I am particularly interested in the care of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and how treatments can modify disease progression. Finally, I am interested in the care of living donor candidates and expanding opportunities for safe living kidney donation.
