A major goal of our present research is to understand the mechanism of cyst formation in polycystic kidney disease. My laboratory takes a developmental approach to organ-based disease, examining how aberrant regulation of developmental pathways results in organ-based disease. A major area of interest is in the role of integrins in kidney development and disease. We have found that coordinate signal transduction between a3b1 integrin and the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Met regulates Wnt gene expression during development. We are presently investigating mis-regulation of this pathway in PKD.
