Research

The research mission of the Renal-Electrolyte and Hypertension Division is to advance the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of kidney disease and hypertension through innovative basic, translational, clinical, and population-based research. Our investigators seek to uncover the biological and genetic mechanisms underlying kidney disease, develop and evaluate novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and translate scientific discoveries into improved clinical care and outcomes for patients. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, clinical trials, and the training and mentorship of the next generation of investigators, the Division is committed to advancing discovery and innovation across the full spectrum of kidney health and disease.
