معرفی
Robert Thomson, PhD, is a Research Scientist in Nephrology at Yale School of Medicine. His work focuses on kidney physiology, particularly mechanisms of oxalate transport and cadherin protein function in renal epithelial cells. He holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia (1989). His research spans molecular biology, genetics, and kidney disease pathophysiology.
Key research areas include SLC26A6-mediated oxalate transport, Ksp-cadherin's role in kidney development, and CFTR's impact on intestinal oxalate secretion. Collaborators include Peter Aronson, Felix Knauf, and Christina Barone. Over 30 years, he has published extensively on kidney-specific cadherins, urine concentration mechanisms, and inflammatory responses to calcium oxalate crystals.
Publications highlight studies in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, American Journal of Physiology, and Journal of Biological Chemistry. His work bridges basic science and clinical nephrology, advancing understanding of kidney stone formation and renal developmental biology.
