I have two main areas of research interest. The first area involves understanding kidney structure and function in disease states such as diabetes, hypertension and drug induced renal injury. Current research involves understanding the injury created by shock wave lithotripsy treatment. The second area involves understanding the structure and functional changes observed when blood vessels grow and remodel in disease states.
Current research involves understanding how vessels react to changes in flow and shear stress.
