- Research Interests:
Deciphering the role and regulation of cellular metabolism during cell fate specification and differentiation in the context of bone development and disease.
- Research Interests:
Study of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease pathogenesis
- Research Interests:
Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tubular and glomerular formation in health and disease.
- Research Interests:
Analysis of Ca receptor signaling in the kidney and biophysical properties normal and diseased glomeruli.
- Research Interests:
Epigenetic alteration in kidney diseases, Metabolic deregulation in kidney diseases, and Single cell analysis
- Research Interests:
Kidney development and homeostasis, polycystic kidney disease, and microRNAs
- Research Interests:
The Suleiman lab research includes examining the balance of Rac and RhoA, two members of the Rho small GTPases, in both healthy and diseased kidneys. We also study the formation of sarcomere-like structures (SLSs) in glomerular pathological conditions like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD).
