Salt sensitivity, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease are more prevalent in the
African American population than in the general population. My research interests
include examining the impact of high dietary salt intake on genes (MYH9, APOL1) associated
with hypertension nephropathy in African Americans and developing new effective therapeutic
targeted strategies for progressive chronic kidney disease, a condition associated
with high morbidity, excessive mortality, and enormous costs to the health system.
