Wolf Lab research focuses on the roles of urinary proteins Uromodulin and Mucin-1 in health and disease.
We study the physiological roles of both proteins on metabolism and nephrolithiasis, and develop new state-of-the-art therapies to treat autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) caused by Uromodulin mutations.

Recent News & Discoveries
Mucin-1 is secreted in the urine and kidney stone formers have lower urinary Mucin-1 protein
We study the effects of urinary Uromodulin and Mucin-1 on renal calcium absorption and the effect on calcium-containing kidney stone formation by modifying the calcium channel TRPV5.
Urinary Uromodulin modifies tubular magnesium transport
We investigate the effects of urinary Uromodulin and Mucin-1 on renal magnesium homeostasis and the consequences on metabolic disorders.
HTS assay identifies small molecules to increase mutant Uromodulin secretion
We developed a cell-culture based HTS assay which allows us to find new targeted therapies to enhance secretion of mutant Uromodulin and ameliorate apoptosis is cells expressing mutant Uromodulin.
