Sian Piret, PhD
Stony Brook, NY USA

Dr Sian Piret is Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Stony Brook University, NY, USA. She completed both her Master of Biochemistry (2003) and PhD (2008) at the University of Oxford, UK. Her PhD and Post-Doctoral studies focused on understanding the mechanisms of inherited renal disorders including autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease due to mutations in the UMOD gene (ADTKD-UMOD), and Dent’s disease. Her current work explores the transcriptional regulation and roles of proximal tubular metabolism, particularly branched-chain amino acid catabolism and fatty acid oxidation, in AKI and CKD.
