My research interests are: polycystic kidney disease, mechanisms of cyst formation and growth; role of a novel neutral lipid in the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; mechanisms of fluid secretion in epithelium of renal cysts; role adenylyl cyclase signal transduction in cyst growth.
