John S. Poulton

John S. Poulton serves as an Associate Professor of Medicine within the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.

His educational background includes:

• Undergraduate degree from Florida State University
• PhD from Florida State University

Dr. Poulton's research program investigates molecular mechanisms of kidney function and disease with emphasis on podocyte biology and glomerular disorders. His laboratory employs zebrafish, Drosophila, and yeast genetic models to identify critical renal filtration pathways while developing innovative autoantibody screening platforms for ANCA vasculitis and related autoimmune kidney conditions. This work aims to translate basic discoveries into novel therapeutic approaches for renal diseases.
