Kidney, Cardiovascular, and Metabolic Diseases
Kidney, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality. Research within our theme focuses on deciphering the mechanisms that drive these disorders and exploring how dysfunctional systems interact to accelerate disease progression.
What We Do
We use a broad range of approaches, including in vivo and in vitro models, state-of-the-art imaging, and omics technologies to advance our understanding of conditions such as hypertension, kidney disease of various etiologies, and metabolic disorders. Our vision is to enhance knowledge on how metabolic, renal, and cardiovascular multisystem disorders impacts mortality.
Who We Are
Our theme hosts more than 25 groups who collaborate with clinicians and the pharmaceutical sector.
