Disruptions in iron metabolism are a hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron plays a critical role in brain functions, such as neurotransmission and myelination, and accumulation of intracellular iron can damage vulnerable tissues, such as the brain. Catalytic iron accumulation can lead to iron-mediated oxidative damage and subsequent neuroinjury. My research focuses on how changes in iron metabolism affect neurodevelopmental and cognitive outcomes in those with CKD. I completed myPhD in Biomedical Science and a T32 Fellowship in Nephrology. I am currently a T32 Fellow in Psychiatry.
