Sumant S. Chugh, MBBS, MD Nephrology

Dr. Chugh's laboratory develops novel mechanism-based therapy for chronic kidney disease related to glomerular disorders, and treatment strategies for muti-system disease caused by viral cytokine storms. The lab uses existing animal models and develops new mechanistically relevant rat models of glomerular disease to study genes and proteins that have potential in future glomerular therapeutics. Learn more

Lionel C. Clement, PhD Nephrology

Dr. Clement's research areas include minimal change disease, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, and hyperlipidemia in nephrotic syndrome. Learn more

Eunsil Hahm, PhD Nephrology

Dr. Hahm's research studies the mechanisms of kidney disease caused by immune alterations in bone marrow. Her research includes the development of novel therapeutic agents to block disease pathways (small peptides and antibodies), including investigation of their efficacy in preclinical animal models for kidney disease and cancer. Learn more

Camille Macé, PhD Nephrology

Dr. Macé's research areas include minimal change disease, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, collapsing glomerulopathy, and diabetic nephropathy. Learn more

Steve Mangos, PhD Nephrology

Dr. Mangos studies glomerular and endocrine diseases with a secondary focus on ion channel biology. He utilizes the zebrafish animal model to gain insights into the basic cell biology underlying common human diseases. Learn more
