Scientific interests: Pathophysiology of the microcirculation

As an ERC Investigator, Pierre-Louis Tharaux performs high risk/high potential benefit research in areas of major medical need.
Research in our laboratory is centered on the analysis of mouse vascular and renal pathophysiology with translation to clinical studies, with a particular emphasis on genes or pathways implicated in disease tolerance. Our work covers:

1- GPCRs and RTK signaling and metabolism in kidney and vascular cells (podocytes and endothelial cells) in accelerated ageing, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and hypertension. Our goal is to promote tolerance of the kidney and the microcirculation to immune injury (vasculitides), metabolic injury (diabetes) and hypertension.

2- Innate immunity in Sickle Cell Sickle Cell Nephropathy and Vasculopathy and Crescentic RPGN.

3-Interested in drug repositioning and new drug development, including miRNA targeting for glomerular diseases and sickle cell disease.
