Funded Activity Summary

Renal failure is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Australia. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitis associated glomerulonephritis (GN) is a significant cause of renal failure. The molecular mechanisms underlying ANCA vasculitis are poorly understood, while treatments are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. This grant aims to explore key molecular events involved in the disease pathogenesis to facilitate the use of safer more targeted therapies.
