research
I've been in academic research since graduating with my PhD in 2004.
I have a few grants under my belt and continue to investigate diseases like diabetes and hypertension in the hope to uncover the hidden mechanisms that drive them.
prorenin receptor
my bread and butter
My research focuses on the mechanisms regulating the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system during cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and obesity.
I pioneered the studies demonstrating the impact of the interaction of prorenin and the prorenin receptor in the development of hypertension and chronic kidney diseases.
My research has been funded by the AHA, the NIDDK of the NIH, and the NIAID of the NIH.
