Expertise

My general interest is focused on the the relationship of kidney disease, vascular calcification, bone, and disorders of mineral metabolism known as CKD-Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD).

We also investigate  the role of advanced glycation end product cross linking of bone collagen predisposes to fracture and how impaired muscle function occurs with progressive CKD.
