This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Dong Zhou, Department of Medicine.
Project Description: This summer project will investigate how extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) determines the progression of kidney
fibrosis. We have found that deletion of ECM1 caused animal death at age 8~10 weeks due to spontaneous organ
fibrosis. However, very few studies pay attention to the exact role of this protein in the kidney. Therefore, we will
investigate the mechanisms of how ECM1 involved in chronic kidney disease progression. The applicant will need to
perform in vivo, in vitro, ex vivo experiments and learn the skills of bioinformatic analysis for the generated proteomics
data in this project to understand the picture of kidney fibrosis.
