As a postdoc, I conduct research on renal physiology. In my work, I am particularly interested in acid/base balance, chronic kidney disease, cystic fibrosis and electrolyte homeostasis. I am a medical doctor with experience within basic, translational and clinical research.
My research concerns how the kidneys control the body's acid-base balance, with particular focus on bicarbonate and ammonium transport in the kidney tubules. Using genetically modified mouse models, in vivo physiology and patient cohorts, my goal is to understand how the kidney responds to acid-base disturbances and why this fails in specific diseases. My research also aims to enable earlier detection of kidney dysfunction and correction of acid-base imbalances.
I teach and examine medical students in medical physiology. I also co-supervise bachelor's theses, master's projects, master's theses, research-year projects and PhD projects.
My primary job responsibilities are reasearch, teaching and supervision.
