My Work

For the last 20 years I have been studying the genetic basis of inherited kidney disease. In collaboration with colleagues at Duke University and Prof Gianpiero (Cavelleri RCSI https://www.rcsi.com/people/profile/gcavalleri) we have been responsible for the identification of 5 novel genes implicated in the etiology of inherited kidney disease . We have also undertaken seminal investigations of genome wide association studies of the genetics of kidney transplant survival. To date we have supervised 13 MD and PhD studies. We have established the Irish Kidney Gene Project http://www.beaumont.ie/kidneycentre-aboutus-irishkidneygeneproject
