| The Tan Lab has projects evaluating the role of Keap1/Nrf2 pathway in the development of chronic kidney disease. Kidney disease that is accompanied by proteinuria (abnormal spilling of protein into the urine) has a higher risk of progressing to complete kidney failure and the need for dialysis. We are investigating how the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway impacts various proteinuric chronic kidney diseases including FSGS, Alport syndrome, and diabetic nephropathy. We are also investigating neural control of kidney disease progression governed by renal sensory neurons and sympathetic neurons. Projects include rodent experiments and manipulations. |
