Research Focus
Dr. Adebowale Adebiyi's lab focuses on understanding the role of specific sodium channels in kidney function, especially during neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI). The research aims to uncover how these channels influence blood flow in the kidneys and contribute to the severity of kidney damage after events such as hypoxia. By studying these mechanisms, the lab seeks to identify potential new therapies to mitigate kidney injury in newborns.

Research Aims
3AIM 01Investigate the regulation of NaV1.5 channels in renal vascular smooth muscle cells.
AIM 02Determine the impact of NaV1.5 on calcium overload during hypoxia/reoxygenation.
AIM 03Evaluate how NaV1.5 affects renal vascular resistance and contributes to acute kidney injury.
