Modeling the Anemia Elicited by Chronic Kidney Disease in Zebrafish
The goal of this research is to uncover how the interplay between microRNAs and uremic solutes orchestrate the responsiveness to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). To this end, this project will model the anemia of CKD using zebrafish embryos as a model system
Prediction of Knee Pain Using Ultrasound Imaging and Machine Learning
This project (in collaboration with Dr. Juan-Pablo Lopez-Zertuche Ortiz, Dr. Eugene Kissin, and Dr. David Felson) proposes to develop advanced machine learning approaches that can process ultrasound images to predict knee pain.
