Research Activities

Research on mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their suppression

1) Research on the transcriptional induction of the ubiquitin ligase Smurf2, which ubiquitin-dependent degrades Smad2, a TGF-β transcription factor involved in renal fibrosis
2) Research on the mechanisms of activation of the renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and hypertension involved in the onset and progression of kidney damage, and on circadian rhythms
