Ashleigh Hicks

Ashleigh Hicks is a Researcher affiliated with the Macquarie Medical School and the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University. Their work focuses on preclinical research in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and related cardiovascular complications.

Research Interests: Ashleigh Hicks investigates chronic kidney disease with a focus on klotho expression, sex differences in disease progression, and cardiovascular complications such as aortic calcification using animal models. Their studies contribute to understanding molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for CKD.

Recent research outputs include two peer-reviewed meeting abstracts published in Nephrology (2022 and 2023), highlighting collaborations with researchers like Barton, Belikoff, Hildreth, and Phillips. These studies explore renal and cardiovascular pathologies in adenine-induced CKD models.

Ashleigh Hicks' work aligns with broader research in nephrology, molecular biology, and medical sciences, emphasizing translational applications in chronic disease management.
