His research interests include energy homeostasis, bone-mineral and cardiovascular complications as well as mechanisms of progression in chronic kidney disease. His laboratory is studying the molecular mechanism of cachexia associated with chronic kidney disease using rodent models. He has served on and chaired committees for a wide variety of research projects and clinical trials. He has also trained many postdoctoral fellows who in the past three years have won several regional and national scientific research awards from societies such as the Western Society of Pediatric Nephrology, American Society of Pediatric Nephrology and the Pediatric Academic Societies of the United States.
