More research from our team
Our highly regarded researchers are conducting a diverse range of projects related to chronic kidney disease, often using companion animals that spontaneously develop the disease to make new discoveries with significant impact for early human diagnosis and treatment.
Prof David Gardner is a physiologist with a specific interest in renal physiology. David is currently investigating why so many aged cats appear to get chronic kidney disease and has identified some important dietary factors that may have a role.
Dr Simone De Brot is a board-certified veterinary pathologist specialising in renal / urological pathology. By studying renal disease in spontaneous animal models and humans with CKD, she is drawing comparisons between species to potentially identify common underpinning disease-causing factors.
