INTERNAL MEDICINE RESEARCH
Orson Moe Lab
Translational Pathophysiology
Our work encompasses individual molecules, in vitro cell models, in vivo animal models, and metabolic human studies.
Acute and chronic kidney disease
We study pathophysiologic mechanisms involving mineral metabolism mediating the acute kidney injury, acute kidney injury-to-chronic kidney disease transition, cardiovascular complications of chronic kidney disease.
Nephrolithiasis
We also focus on uric acid nephrolithiasis and the metabolic syndrome, renal acidification and citrate handling defects and propensity for calcium stones.
Mentorship
The Moe Lab is committed to biomedical education with teaching activities for medical students, graduate students, residents, and fellows.
