Current field of research: the role of acute phase proteins in the pathomechanism of renal fibrosis induced by acute ischemic kidney damage and in the treatment of breast cancer with modulated electrohypertemia.
Previous filds of research: Initially we investigated the pathomechanism of rejection following kidney transplantation in a rat model. The function of the transplanted kidney is basically determined by the ischemic and immunological damaging factors suffered during the transplant, result in renal fibrosis which is the common route of chronic kidney damage. We were the first to use RNA interference in the kidney for in-vivo gene silencing. In the present research, we focus on the pathomechanism of fibrosis induced by renal ischemia.
