Research Interests
Our research is broadly centered on understanding how alterations in microRNAs and protein coding genes influence pathology and organ function in cardiovascular disease, renal disease, and cardiorenal syndromes. Our laboratory takes an integrative physiology approach to research, recognizing the interconnectedness of molecular pathways and organ systems in physiology and pathophysiology.
Major areas of research:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Metabolic Changes in CKD
- Cardiorenal Syndrome, Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Disease
- Polycystic Kidney Disease
- Sex Differences in (Patho)Physiology
- Cardio-Oncology
We combine in vivo approaches for studying cardiac and renal function with advanced molecular techniques to comprehensively study the factors that influence left ventricular pathology. Frequently utilized techniques in our laboratory include: echocardiography, left ventricle pressure-volume relationship analysis, chronic and acute blood pressure recordings, sodium handling/GFR assessment, cell culture models (siRNA, miRNA), in vitro and in vivo miRNA/mRNA suppression, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, immuno/affinity purification, western blot analysis, ELISA, proteomic/metabolomic analysis, miRNA and mRNA next generation sequencing and qRT-PCR.
Please see the Kriegel lab website for additional information about our group and research.
