Hassane Amlal

Hassane Amlal is a Research Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. His career spans over 25 years in renal physiology research, focusing on molecular regulation of ion transporters and acid-base homeostasis. He earned a Doctoral Degree in Renal Physiology from University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Cincinnati.

• University Cadi Ayyad (1989): Bachelor's in Animal Biology
• University of Nancy I (1989): Certificate in Physiology
• University Pierre et Marie Curie (1990): Master's in Renal Physiology
• University Pierre et Marie Curie (1994): Doctoral Degree in Renal Physiology

Dr. Amlal's research explores renal epithelial salt, water, and acid-base transporters in health and disease states. His work has elucidated mechanisms of potassium depletion, estrogen regulation of phosphate transport, fructose-induced hypertension, and compensatory responses in genetic transporter models.

His publications (15+ peer-reviewed articles) reveal expertise in NBC-1/NHE-3 transporter interactions, pendrin function, and estrogen receptor-mediated kidney regulation. Notable findings include characterizing acidosis-induced AQP2 upregulation and identifying Slc26a6's role in fructose hypertension.

• Government Scholarships (Morocco, 1984-1994)
• INSERM Scholarship (France, 1991-1994)
• 2nd Prize at UC Fellows' Grand Rounds (1997)

He serves on editorial/reviewer boards for journals like JASN and Kidney International, and holds leadership roles in academic committees. Current funding includes DCI Bridge Funding (PI, $150k) and NIDA grants for anti-cocaine antibody development.
