I direct one of the largest renal pathology laboratories in the country, which processes approximately 5500 renal biopsies annually. This large biopsy practice has enabled our characterization of emerging kidney diseases. My major research interests include mechanisms of glomerular and tubulointerstitial injury in podocytopathies, immune mediated glomerulonephritis, monoclonal immunoglobulin-associated kidney diseases, and toxic tubulopathies. Our group has explored how pathologic forms of injury manifest clinically, how disease biomarkers can inform treatment, and the pathogenetic mechanisms governing distinct morphologic patterns of injury.

My basic research has focused primarily...
