Disease Mechanisms and Therapeutics (DMT)

My research focuses on exploring the complexity of signaling crosstalk between cells in the kidney. Particularly, my work aims to examine molecular mechanisms in the glomerulus that result in kidney disease progression and diabetic nephropathy in order to identify novel glomerular lesion-specific therapeutic targets and biomarkers. I have so far taken innovative approaches to examine the development of glomerular disease and the outcomes from this work have provided a fundamental paradigm shift in our current understanding of chronic kidney disease development.

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. Daehn 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.
