Mechanisms of Ischemic Kidney Injury and Repair
Description: The work proposed in this application is designed to understand how injury to the kidney results in abnormal repair leading to long term kidney dysfunction and ultimately failure of the organ to support life. Approximately 9% of the developed world's adult population has chronic kidney disease and there are currently no effective therapies to prevent progression of the disease once it is established. Our work is designed to better understand the factors in the kidney that are responsible for progressive disease so that we can develop new therapies to prevent the progression and the side effects of kidney disease.
