Research

Abnormal development of the kidney (renal dysplasia) can be the origin of various kidney diseases in children and adults. Our research aims to better understand the pathogenesis of renal dysplasia by studying genetic pathways that regulate the complex cellular interactions involved in kidney development. Specifically, we have looked at ß-catenin and are currently looking at Shroom3 – both of which are essential for kidney development and contribute to childhood and adult kidney disease.
