Ciliopathy Research Group
The Ciliopathy Research Group studies conditions caused by problems in cilia, tiny hair-like structures on cells that are essential for cell signaling, movement, and sensing the environment. These disorders, called ciliopathies, can affect multiple organs, leading to issues like kidney disease, vision problems, and developmental delays. The group aims to understand how cilia work, what goes wrong in these diseases, and to develop potential treatments. Their research combines genetics, cell biology, and clinical insights to improve diagnosis and improve outcomes for affected individuals.
