This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Baihai Jiao, Department of Medicine.
Project Description: This summer research opportunity focuses on investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD), with particular emphasis on kidney fibrosis and necroptosis signaling. The project will examine the role of casein kinase 1 alpha (CK1α) in regulating receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)–mediated pathways that contribute to tubular injury, inflammation, and fibrotic remodeling in the kidney. Students will gain hands-on experience in experimental techniques including cell culture, gene expression analysis, PCR, real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and histological analysis to elucidate key molecular mechanisms. This research aims to identify novel therapeutic targets for CKD while providing students with valuable training in biomedical research and translational science.
