Metabolic Function in AKI

Our laboratory studies metabolic and mitochondrial function in both immune cells and kidney tubular cells. Our laboratory is funded to study the effects of the annexin A1 and sirtuin 3 proteins for their role in augmenting mitochondrial ATP production and limiting mitochondrially-mediated cell death. We are also studying mechanisms in which immune cells and tubular cells interact to improve mitochondrial quality control.
