Viswanathan Raghuram, Principal Investigator

Our research focus is on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in maintaining salt and fluid balance in renal and lung epithelia. Proteins rarely work by themselves. Most seem to function within complicated cellular pathways, interacting with other proteins either in pairs or as components of larger complexes. A comprehensive understanding of these interactions is needed to appreciate the mechanisms by which cellular pathways function and interlink. Our general interest is to understand the mechanisms by which proteins interact with each other to coordinate the formation of specific functional complexes. We are especially interested in cell surface and cytoplasmic signal transduction proteins that control the activity of ion channels/transporters in epithelial cells.
