More research from our team
Our highly regarded researchers are conducting a diverse range of projects related to acute kidney injury, often using large animal models to make new discoveries with significant impact for human diagnosis and treatment.
Prof David Gardner has established a large animal model of acute kidney injury. It’s being used to investigate how best to prevent AKI happening in situations where it’s most likely to occur, such as after general surgery in humans and animals.
Dr Simone De Brot is a board-certified veterinary pathologist specialising in renal / urological pathology. She is studying acute renal disease in animals that spontaneously develop the disease.
Professor Nigel Mongan focuses on gene regulation with a specific interest in cancers of the urogenital system. He is investigating specific RNA signatures in animals with renal cancer to understand if similar signatures may be found at an early stage in human patients with the condition.
Dr Stuart Paine specialises in pharmacokinetic modelling of solutes across the kidney. This is important in furthering our understanding of how kidneys process drugs, helping to inform drug dosage and clarify how underlying renal disease should influence those decisions.
