STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Renal glomerular diseases, frequently causing glomerulosclerosis and chronic kidney diseases (CKD), are the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We are particularly interested in using zebrafish as a new model organism for the study of glomerular function and disorders.
