Interests:
Basic Research - Expertise in basic research methods are utilized to establish a basic research programs in renal development and physiology. Research projects are focused on the role of growth factors in the development of mesangial cell, and the role of fibronectin, an extracellular matrix protein, on ureteric bud cell branching morphogenesis. Other research projects utilized radioactive phosphate transport in animals and cell culture. These studies examined the maturation of phosphate transport in rabbits and effects of epidermal growth factor on phosphate transport in both OK cells and animals. The following research procedures are well established in my laboratory: small animal handling and anesthesia, cell culture, tissue culture, three-dimensional gel culture, cell adhesion assay, cell proliferation and migration assays, microscopic dissection and isolation of small animals' embryonic kidneys, northern blot, western blot, southern blot, immunohistochemistry, receptor binding and kinetic assay studies.
