Research Focus


My research focuses on understanding the basis for congenital defects in the kidneys and urinary tracts. These disorders account for 40% of all cases of kidney failure in children and result in dialysis and transplantation for those affected children. My laboratory is using cell lines, animal models and samples from affected children to understand these defects and eventually identify new therapeutic possibilities.
