Scientific summary

My objective is to improve the understanding of the pathophysiological roles and signaling pathways whereby the hormone aldosterone promotes pathologies in various diseases including renal, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. My work combines cellular and molecular approaches, animal pathophysiology, pharmacological studies .  My interest includes translational research aimed to identify and validate biomarkers of Mineralocorticoid Receptor activation in cardiovascular and  renal  diseases and to explore novel therapeutic use of Mineralocorticoid Receptor antagonists. I am co-PI or partner of several clinical trials to assess these possibilities
