Thomas Ardito

Thomas Ardito is a Researcher in Pathology at Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Yale Stem Cell Center and the Morrow Lab. He holds roles as a Research Associate and Associate in Research III. His work focuses on renal pathology, molecular mechanisms of kidney disease, and protein function in cellular contexts. Ardito's research spans topics such as spectrin and ankyrin isoforms in kidney physiology, podocyte biology, and the role of heat shock proteins in renal injury. He has collaborated extensively with experts like Michael Kashgarian and Diane Krause on studies involving kidney pathology, stem cell applications, and genetic models of disease.

Education: B.S. in Biology from Southern Connecticut State University (1977).

Research highlights include investigations into glomerular albuminuria, renal ischemia, and the use of transgenic mouse models to study kidney diseases. Ardito’s lab is equipped with advanced electron microscopy tools, reflecting his focus on detailed tissue analysis. His work bridges basic cellular mechanisms with translational insights into human renal disorders.
