Research Description
Our laboratory is interested in the mechanisms and therapeutic manipulation of pathways and cellular responses involved in promoting healthy cellular repair after organ injury, with a particular focus on the transition of acute kidney injury to fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. Our current focus includes:
a) Phenotypic screening for small molecules that promote proliferative repair of damaged epithelium after injury. These studies are based on a long-term collaboration with Dr. Neil Hukriede from the University of Pittsburgh, who has developed a phenotypic screen in zebrafish to identify compounds that promote proliferative expansion of nephron progenitor cells. Using this approach we have identified a new family of highly selective HDAC inhibitors that promote non-scarring repair after acute kidney injury, that are effective in multiple toxic and surgical models of kidney injury, and importantly, are effective when given days after the initiating injury. We are currently working on target identification and SAR for optimization.
b) Studying the regulation, role and therapeutic manipulation of retinoic acid signaling in promoting effective repair after acute kidney injury. We are studying the cellular origins and effectors of retinoic acid signaling activity after acute kidney injury; exploring the role of immune effectors in mediating these effects; and develop new, non-toxic therapeutic approaches to enhance this natural response and promote effective repair after kidney injury.
Our laboratory also studies the role of BMP signaling in pulmonary hypertension. Human genetic studies indicate that this signaling pathway plays an important role in modifying pulmonary vascular responses in disease. We have shown that Bmp signaling exerts distinct opposing, cell specific effects on pulmonary vascular remodeling and tone. We are currently using genetic models in mice as well as patient derived cells to evaluate effect of inherited mutations in the BMP type 2-receptor, BMPR2, on pulmonary vascular cell function. Our specific focus is on how these mutations affect endothelial cell function, specifically metabolic function and perivascular inflammation, and how these pathologic responses promote pulmonary hypertension in genetically modified mice.

| 2/13/2017 | We are looking for a 1st or 2nd year postdoctoral fellow to start a new project studying the role and mechanisms by which retinoic acid signaling regulates cellular repair after kidney injury, and therapeutic manipulation of this pathway in disease.
The studies will involve the use of genetically modified mice, kidney injury models, careful spatial and temporal analysis of retinoic acid signaling activities in the kidney, cell sorting, bone marrow transplantation, RNA seq etc. The applicant should have experience with mice, ideally studying kidney disease, immunology experience would also be a plus. Training in kidney disease models and pathophysiology provided through the Vanderbilt Center for Kidney Disease (VCKD). A secondary basic science appointment in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University, as well as training in molecular medicine with Vanderbilt Program in Molecular Medicine will be encouraged
