Exploring cardio-renal-metabolic interactions in patients with heart failure
Recent years have highlighted the connections and shared pathophysiology between heart failure, renal impairment, diabetes and obesity, particularly with the evidence of benefit in all of these areas with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1-receptor agonists. Read more
Endothelial glycocalyx damage as a therapeutic target in sepsis-associated Acute Kidney Injury
Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (sAKI), associated with high morbidity and mortality.1,2 Unfortunately, there is no treatment for sAKI, current therapies are nonspecific and supportive of the vital organ systems in the hope the kidney will recover. Read more
Targeting the extracellular matrix remodelling for the treatment of obesity-associated cardio-renal dysfunction
Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic metabolic diseases including heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Our lab demonstrated a tight association between increased deposition of extracellular matrix components (e.g. Read more
Identifying the causes and cellular effects of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
A major factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide is end stage renal disease (ESRD). At least 10% of ESRD is caused by focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a form of steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Read more

Understanding and curing genetic kidney disease
Steroid Resistant Nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a rare kidney condition which causes excess fluid to be retained in the body which causes swelling (oedema). Read more
PhD Opportunity - Drosophila models of human disease
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. To cure human disease, models are needed to provide better understanding, and to identify possible treatments. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Comparative functional genomics for insect control
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. Insects are the most successful class of life on earth, with more species than all other organisms combined. Read more
The role of endothelial PKD1 in endothelial dysfunction and formation of aortic aneurysms
Polycytin-1 (PKD1) is the main causative gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affecting every 1 in 400 to 1,000 people. Read more
