Epigenetic regulation of kidney development and disease

Hongbing Liu, School of Medicine

Project Description

The long-term goal of my research program is to uncover the epigenetic mechanisms, especially histone acetylation and deacetylation, responsible for kidney formation and abnormality. Our studies will provide new insights into the epigenetics of kidney development and open new avenues to novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases and associated renal-cardiovascular diseases, through pharmaceutical agents that target epigenetic modifiers.
