Dr Kathryn Garner, PhD

  • Human podocytes maintain high levels of key podocyte markers, including nephrin, podocin, WT1, CD2AP.
  • Well-validated Podocyte Toxicity Assay senses injury through barrier integrity (TEER) measures and passage of fluorescently-labelled dextran molecules.
  • Disease modelling in podocytes, proximal tubule cells and renal fibroblasts with monitoring of fibrosis readouts – matrix deposition – using high content imaging.
