NIH awarded a research grant to study mechanisms of drug-induced kidney toxicity affecting podocytes, using advanced molecular and imaging techniques to improve understanding and treatment of kidney disease.
Description
This NIH research grant focuses on studying the biological components inhibited by oncological drugs that lead to kidney toxicity, specifically targeting podocyte physiology in the kidney glomerulus. The project uses advanced molecular and imaging assays to understand drug-induced glomerular dysfunction and aims to improve podocyte resilience, patient monitoring, and therapeutic development.
