Alterations of Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) Catabolism in Acute Kidney Injury and Fibrosis

Congratulations to Samaneh DiMartino, Ph.D., Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, on receiving an NIH/NIDDK F32 Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Sama’s project is titled:

"The long- term goal of this proposal is to investigate defective sex-dependent metabolic and non-metabolic pathways in the PT during AKI which may have implications for targeted sex-specific therapeutic strategies for AKI and transition to fibrosis. Under the mentorship of Dr. Piret and Dr. Mallipattu, the training plan includes advanced laboratory techniques such as snRNA-seq, phospho-proteomics, alongside courses on Responsible Conduct of Research to ensure ethical standards. Moreover, Stony Brook University provides a dynamic and collaborative environment for this proposal, supported by a network of core facilities, expertise and advanced technologies."
