I'm a pediatrician with a research interest in pediatric nephrology, especially pediatric hypertension and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. I work both clinically with children that suffer from renal diseases at a university hospital and on a research project with kidney biopsies from children with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. My research is funded mainly via a European Union project entitled EURenOmics. I like explaining scientific findings in lay terms and think taxpayers have a right to know what relevant results come out of EU funding.
