Research

I am a renal pathologist with research interest in nephrotoxic patterns of renal injury, dysproteinemic forms of renal disease, and onconephropathology. Additional areas of interest include membranous nephropathy, morphologic variants of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, lupus nephritis, ANCA-associated pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis, and diabetic glomerulosclerosis.
