Areas of expertise
General: Cardiovascular and renal physiology
Specific: Mechanisms of the nonselective cation channel, TRPC6, in renal injury by diabetes and hypertension; contributions of tubuloglomerular feedback in hypertension; renal tubular ion-transport
Research methods
Genetically engineered mouse models
Chronically monitoring BP and HR in conscious rodents using implantable telemetry
Measurement of glomerular filtration rate and/or renal handling of substrates in conscious and anesthetized animals
Using micro-puncture to access single glomerular filtration rate and tubuloglomerular feedback in rodent kidneys.
Molecular, and biochemical assays (RT-PCR, Western Blot, IHC, ELISA, etc.)
Current project
The role of transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) in renal injury induced by diabetes and hypertension
The effect of transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) deficiency in obesity and metabolic dysfunction
