My Research Activities
My primary research activity is focussed on clinical studies aimed at improving outcomes for children with kidney disease. These research and clinical interests span the whole paediatric age group from the newborn period to adolescence and include children with congenital structural anomalies, those with end stage kidney disease who have had transplants or are on dialysis, as well as those with acute kidney injury.
Research in tuberous sclerosis includes studies exploring the molecular basis and clinical progression of benign tumours as well as research aimed at gaining a greater understanding of the needs of patients and their families.
