Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Schwaderer Lab is dedicated to uncovering the biological mechanisms underlying kidney diseases, particularly those with immune-mediated components such as kidney infections, kidney stones, and glomerular disorders. Our research integrates cutting-edge approaches to understand how immune responses contribute to kidney injury and disease progression. In addition, we focus on biomarker discovery to identify children at risk for developing kidney disease and to guide personalized treatment strategies. By leveraging advanced technologies in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, our goal is to improve early detection, predict disease outcomes, and develop targeted interventions that enhance patient care and long-term kidney health.
