Overview
In collaboration with Dr. Tinika Montgomery (nephrology), Drs. Dinesh Singh, Piruz Motamedinia, and Tim Tran (urology) we have created a Kidney Stone Registry to track important aspects of kidney stone management.
In the inherited kidney disease space I am most interested in those aspects of clinical research which improve care for ADPKD patients.
