Mikus Saulīte

Mikus Saulīte is an Acting Researcher and Ph.D. student at the Department of Biology and Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia. His work focuses on immunology and nephrology, particularly the molecular mechanisms of IgA nephropathy and B cell biology.

• Active in projects like 'Unveiling molecular determinants for GdIgA+ B cell differentiation'
• Contributed to research on intestinal dysbiosis in IgA nephropathy pathogenesis
• Collaborated on studies of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination impacts on kidney disease

His recent publications (2020-2025) in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation explore biomarkers (e.g., Leucine-Rich Alpha-2-Glycoprotein), B cell dynamics, and clinical presentations of IgA nephropathy. Projects funded by Latvian Council of Science investigate molecular determinants and microbiome interactions in IgA nephropathy.

Presented at conferences (2022-2024) on topics ranging from serum Gd-IgA1 ambiguity to microbiome roles in disease pathogenesis. Collaborates with experts like Prof. Oļeiņika K. and Dr. Popova A. on translational research.
