Translational research in acute kidney injury, sepsis and critical illness.

Research in the lab is aimed at identifying novel approaches to prevent AKI and treat patients with sepsis and critical illness. Our research is highly collaborative and includes: randomized control trials, biomarker studies to improve phenotyping of patients with sepsis-associated AKI, genetics and molecular epidemiology studies.

Our Focus

1. Discovering novel approaches to molecular phenotype AKI and advancing precision medicine for AKI.
2. Investigating therapeutics and novel treatment strategies to improve outcomes in patients with AKI, COVID-19, and sepsis in the ICU.
3. Developing methods to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with cystic fibrosis who are at risk of AKI.
