■ Research interests 
- Research area: Ischemic acute kidney injury / Investigation of cardiovascular disease using chronic kidney disease patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells
- Laboratory name: Kidney disease and iPSCs lab. 
- Homepage: will be available 


■ Research Introduction 
Our lab has been investigating the cardiovascular complications of chronic kidney disease using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and ischemic acute kidney injury. We have been performing various experiments regarding immunologic mechanisms and disease susceptibility of ischemic acute kidney injury with both murine renal ischemia-reperfusion injury models and hypoxic injury models of tubular cells. We have also conducted translational research using patient blood and urine samples to identify clinically reliable biomarkers for elucidating underlying mechanisms and developing tools of early diagnosis and novel drug screening. To develop a novel research technique and screen drugs for cardiovascular diseases, the most serious complication of chronic kidney disease, we are conducting various experiments using endothelial cells differentiated from patient-specific iPSCs.
