CAMRC Home PageMy research is primarily focused on identifying the genetic factors involved in recessive polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in both humans and mouse models. The number of distinct disease loci and the evidence that disease expression is influenced by genetic background suggests that the pathogenesis of recessive PKD involves a multi-gene pathway. Mouse genetics provides unique and powerful tools to dissect disease pathogenesis and study gene interactions.
