<p class="p1">The major focus of research in the Ross laboratory is to identify novel mechanisms of kidney injury occurring in HIV-positive persons and his laboratory uses in vitro and murine models to generate new strategies to prevent and treat kidney diseases. Dr. Ross also works with members of the International Network for Strategic Initiatives in Global HIV Treatment (INSIGHT) to perform research on kidney disease in the context of large international HIV treatment trials.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ongoing NIH-funded projects:</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Mechanisms by which antiretroviral medications protect kidneys from HIV-induced injury:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Though combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is efficacious in preventing and treating HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN), the mechanisms by which these medications protect the kidney from the deleterious effects of HIV are poorly understood.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are performing studies using transgenic animal models and molecular and genomic techniques to identify novel pathways by which ART protect the kidneys from HIV.&nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover, we have exciting data suggesting that these medications may protect kidneys from non-viral mediated forms of kidney injury, including diabetic kidney disease.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>The role of APOL1 polymorphisms in promoting HIV-induced kidney injury:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Polymorphisms in the APOL1 gene account for most of the excess risk of African-Americans to non-diabetic kidney disease and HIV-associated kidney disease in particular. In our studies, we are using genetically modified human kidney cells to perform innovative proteomic, and genomic studies to identify novel mechanisms by APOL1 genetic variants predispose to HIV-induced kidney injury.&nbsp;</p>
