Primære forskningsområder

Gruppens forskning er primært rettet mod nyrens autoregulering i dyr med normal eller forhøjet blodtryk. Vi kigger på intercellulær kommunikation via gap junctions i nyrens kar og dennes betydning for autoreguleringen. Vi undersøger også betydningen af kalium kanaler i nyrens hæmodynamik.

Kort præsentation

Min forskning omhandler primært nyrens funktions og dennes indflydelse på blodtrykket. Vi kigger på gap junctions, kalium kanaler og calcium kanaler i nyrens kar. Jeg underviser primært i nyrefysiologi, karfysiologi samt kardiovaskulær farmakologi. Jeg er medforfatter på lærebogen ”Basal Nyrefysiolgi”, som vi bruger i vores undervisning.
