Funded Activity Summary

Mineralocorticoid exists normally in the human body to maintain fluid and salt balance. However, it is also implicated in diseases affecting the heart and the kidneys. My research aims to further our understanding on how mineralocorticoids contribute to kidney disease, and in particular, to investigate the role of specific kidney cells on mediating kidney injury. Ultimately this research may facilitate development of treatments allowing cell specific blockade of mineralocorticoids, which may reduce kidney diseases such as diabetic nephropathy.
