Prof. Maxwell has been successful in establishing several DNA collections that have facilitated large-scale, collaborative projects to identify inherited risk factors associated with kidney disease, founding the Genetics of Nephropathy and International Effort (GENIE) collaboration with colleagues in the UK, Ireland, Finland and the USA. This consortium, working on the genetic landscape of diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetes, has been funded by two consecutive NIDDK RO1 programme grants under the auspices of the USA-Ireland-Northern Ireland research partnership.
Prof. Maxwell also has a successful long term collaboration related to diabetic kidney disease with Prof. Catherine Godson (Conway Institute UCD) and is co-PI on an SFI-DEL programme grant (with Dr Amy Jayne McKnight and Prof Godson as PIs) that is exploring biomarkers for chronic kidney disease progression.
Prof. Maxwell has supervised > 48 postgraduate research students to completion of higher degrees.
