معرفی
Patricia Preisig is a Professor of Medicine (Nephrology) and of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine. Her primary appointment is in the Department of Nephrology with a secondary appointment in Cellular & Molecular Physiology. She is affiliated with several departments and organizations including Cellular & Molecular Physiology, Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight, Internal Medicine Nephrology, and Yale Ventures.
Dr. Preisig's research focuses on kidney physiology, particularly renal tubular acidification, citrate transport, and kidney tubule function. Her work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying renal acid-base regulation and their implications for kidney stone formation and other renal pathologies. She has made significant contributions to understanding the cellular mechanisms of renal tubular acidification and the role of citrate in mammalian urine.
Her publications from 2004-2018 demonstrate a consistent research trajectory in nephrology, with particular emphasis on acid-base regulation, citrate transport mechanisms, and renal physiology. Her work spans basic molecular mechanisms to clinical implications for conditions like nephrolithiasis.
Dr. Preisig has also contributed to research ethics and protocol review, particularly regarding the role of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) in ensuring research reproducibility and making tough ethical decisions in animal research protocols.
