We aim at a better understanding of podocytopathies, the identification of complex principles of kidney diseases, immune -tissue interactions and interorgan signaling. For this purpose, our lab is advancing the following research areas:
Modern tissue banks and patient registries by means of complex data analysis and attention to data security
Multidimensional techniques for tissue analysis and single-cell biology
Application and development of experimental models for the precise analysis of disease mechanisms
New strategies of gene- and cell targeting in the kidney
Development of translational platforms for the transfer of molecular findings into novel therapies
With this, our aim is to identify new approaches for the prevention, halt and cure of kidney diseases.
