Experimental and Translational Research

Since the 1990s, the group investigates the nature and clinical relevance of fluid and ion transport across biological membranes, both at the level of renal tubular epithelia and across the peritoneal membrane.

  • Progression, complications and treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, the most frequent form of inherited kidney disease;
