Early pathomechanisms in diabetic nephropathy and non-diabetic kidney diseases

Millions of Americans are affected with chronic diabetic and non-diabetic kidney diseases that cause kidney failure (end stage renal disease). When kidneys fail, the average life expectancy is just over two years and survival depends on costly and disabling dialysis or transplantation treatments.

State-of-the-art genomics and bioinformatics approaches are used to discover and characterize new molecular targets and pathways associated with apoptosis, transdifferentiation, and fibrogenesis in specialized renal cells exposed to diabetic and other stresses. TGF-beta signaling pathways and targets are a major theme because TGF-beta is a key mediator of these processes.

Model systems used include renal cell culture and mouse models of diabetic and non-diabetic progressive renal disease. A new genomic medicine program aims at identification and validation of molecular biomarkers that predict progressive kidney disease in humans.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.

Dr. Bottinger has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
