Research Interests

Dr. Bhalla's research interests are in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease and salt-sensitive hypertension. The laboratory is interested in elucidating molecular pathways which regulate mesangial cell hypertrophy and extracellular matrix production in diabetic glomeruli. The laboratory also focuses on molecular mechanisms of insulin and aldosterone induced sodium transport in the distal nephron.
