Clinical Interest
The section is responsible for diagnosis in 850 to 900 kidney biopsies annually and receives biopsy specimens from within the hospital system and from private practice nephrologists in the city of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana.Research Interests
My research interests include immunopathologic analysis of kidney transplant rejection, acute and chronic native kidney dysfunction and mechanisms of renal parenchymal crystal deposition.Textbook Publications
