Hongmei Shi

Hongmei Shi is a Researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in Nephrology. Her work focuses on understanding the role of APOL1 genetic variants in immune-mediated kidney diseases, particularly Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). She is affiliated with the Menon Lab and collaborates with researchers like Madhav Menon and Joseph Craft.

Her recent studies utilize BAC-transgenic mouse models to investigate T-cell intrinsic mechanisms linked to APOL1 risk alleles. This research bridges immunology and nephrology, exploring how genetic factors influence immune responses in kidney pathologies.
