Research Focus
Dr. Rohith Reddy's lab at the University of Houston focuses on improving the diagnosis of lupus nephritis, an autoimmune disease affecting the kidneys. The lab combines traditional tissue biopsy analysis with advanced imaging techniques, such as ultraviolet and mid-infrared spectroscopic imaging, to provide more accurate diagnostic information. By incorporating machine learning, the lab aims to identify specific biomarkers from imaging data to enhance diagnostic reliability and reduce discrepancies in pathology assessments.
