We are using type 1 and 2 diabetic mouse models combined with cell- and tissue-specific conditional transgenic and knockout mice.

Analysis of DNA, RNA and epigenetic modifications

Measurements of cell proliferation, migration, tubular formation and structure.

Assessing podocyte, monocyte and endothelial cell interactions.

Discovery of novel therapeutic targets to prevent the progression of vascular complications of diabetes.

We use fluorescence (epi and confocal) and electronic (transmission and scanning) microscopy for pathological analysis.
