My current research project revolves around studying mechanisms that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and their roles in podocyte function and dysfunction. In addition, I am also interested in defining potential subpopulations of podocytes by leveraging computational methods and published single-cell RNA-seq datasets. As a physician scientist in training, my big picture goal is to identify novel therapeutic targets that can be used to specifically address podocyte dysfunction in people with CKD.
