معرفی
Pat Preisig is a Professor of Medicine (Nephrology) and Cellular & Molecular Physiology at Yale University's School of Medicine. Her research focuses on renal physiology, particularly kidney tubule function, acid-base balance, and citrate transport mechanisms. She holds a PhD in Physiology from the University of California, San Francisco (1983), an MS in Nephrology Nursing (1979), and a BSN in Nursing from California State University (1975).
Her work explores cellular mechanisms underlying renal tubular acidification, citrate transporter regulation, and the role of signaling pathways like Pyk2 and ERK in kidney function. She has contributed to understanding the pathophysiology of kidney stones and the effects of dietary acid on renal homeostasis. Additionally, she engages in ethical review processes, emphasizing IACUC standards and research reproducibility.
Preisig's publications span over three decades, with a focus on nephrology, renal physiology, and translational research. Her articles highlight advancements in understanding acid-regulated transporters, the use of animal models (e.g., Drosophila), and clinical implications of urinary citrate levels. She is actively involved in academic committees at Yale and has advised numerous collaborative studies within her department.
