Personal profile
Research interests
We study the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that regulate nephron progenitor cells, and how these developmental pathways are used for repair and regeneration of the injured kidney. We use whole exome sequencing and functional assays in zebrafish to identify novel genetic causes of human kidney birth defects.
