Extensive Research Opportunities

The second and third years of fellowship are primarily dedicated to research. The research within the Division is nationally recognized and encompasses a wide spectrum from basic science to translational clinical research. Some areas of intense research include:

Acute Renal Failure

Ischemia

Sepsis

Hypertension

Dialysis

Metabolic Bone Disease

Anemia Management

Polycystic Kidney Disease

Basic science research is a major force in our Division, active in many areas including:
- Acute Kidney Injury
- Ischemia
- Sepsis
- Polycystic Kidney Disease
- Cellular trafficking and signaling
- Protein sorting
- Cellular polarity
- CKD
- Nephrotoxicity
Clinical and Translational Research is also very active in our Division. Some areas of intense work include:
- - Hypertension
  - Anemia
  - Bone and mineral metabolism
  - Obesity and metabolic syndrome
  - Novel dialytic therapies
State-of-the-art O'Brien Center for Advanced Renal Microscopic Analysis at the Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy:
- NIH Center of Excellence with doctoral programs in microscopy.
- Primary goal of this Center is to develop new optical methods for investigators in diverse fields of research.
- The Center also pioneered intravital multiphoton microscopy, 3-D imaging and quantitative microscopic analyses.
