Airik Lab
The Rannar Airik laboratory focuses on identifying the genetic and molecular mechanisms of chronic kidney disease (including renal ciliopathies), that may be targetable by therapy. To achieve this, the lab combines transgenic animal models and biochemical assays that provide a basis for further molecular dissection of the mechanisms involved in these human diseases.
Lab Members
- Rannar Airik, PhD - Principal Investigator
- Merlin Airik, PhD - Postdoctoral Fellow
- Blake McCourt - Research Technician
