Role of DNA damage signalling in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Two thousand Australians suffer from kidney failure requiring dialysis due to a genetic condition called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Finding a cure for ADPKD will depend on understanding why kidney cysts form in this disease. Our research has discovered that DNA damage is increased in kidney cysts, and in this project we the role of reducing DNA damage as a way to stop the formation of the kidney cysts.
