LIVESTREAM HERE!

Presenter: Dr. Kretzler is the Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Professor of Internal Medicine/Nephrology and a professor of computational medicine and bioinformatics at the University of Michigan School of Medicine. The overarching goal of his research is to define chronic progressive disease in mechanistic terms and use this knowledge for targeted therapeutic interventions. To reach this goal the Michigan Kidney Translational Medicine Center (MiKTMC) that he leads has developed a translational research pipeline centered on integrated systems biology analysis of renal disease. A quarter century of experience in interdisciplinary data integration of large-scale data sets allows him and his research group to define crosscutting disease mechanisms in international multi-disciplinary research networks in the U.S., Europe, China and sub-Saharan Africa – and enables precision medicine across the genotype-phenotype continuum. MiKTMC teams under Dr. Krenzler’s supervision link carefully monitored environmental exposures, genetic predispositions, transcriptional networks, proteomic profiles, metabolic fingerprints, digital histological biopsy archive and prospective clinical disease characterization to define these disease mechanisms. The molecular mechanisms identified have resulted in more than 450 publications, but most importantly in new disease predictors, de novo drug development and successful clinical trials of novel therapeutic modalities in kidney disease..
