Research Interests
Our research team studies the role of the peripheral nervous system in the onset and progression of cardiovascular and renal diseases, such as hypertension and polycystic kidney disease. We apply a multi- systems, chronic experimental approach to determine the mechanisms of cardio-renal disease progression, as well as the application of a translational surgical approach (e.g. renal denervation) to modulate nerve activity for disease treatment.
