Please read and critique our new paper on the genetic determinants of human kidney function @NatureGenet: rdcu.be/dTwye We combined GWAS with CNN and CRISPRi to go from loci to target genes. This roadmap may be useful to others uncovering genes underlying human traits.

Our new paper led by @XiaoxinChen2024 is out @PNASNews! bit.ly/4785aCD We built a tissue atlas of ~2K transcription regulators ➔ identified Tox3 as a long-sought Atoh1 amplifer in cerebellar development, tumorigenesis & evolution. 1/10 📢 We're recruiting postdocs!

Thrilled to share our new study in collaboration with @TerenceRyan_PhD. We find that intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) directly impairs limb muscle function in PAD/CLTI and that preventing IMAT formation improves functional outcomes in experimental PAD. tinyurl.com/3efwaerh

Polycystic kidney disease is the most common monogenic cause of kidney failure and affects over 10 million individuals. We've known most PKD is caused by mutations in PKD1 for over 30 years. But how PKD1 prevents disease has remained mysterious, limiting effective therapy.

Excited to have my first senior author publication out in the world! An awesome collab between myself in the @ReiterLab and the Berbari lab at IU. We found primary cilia are necessary for postnatal pituitary development. 1/n. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
