Research summary
AI-generated

Andrew L. Schwaderer studies kidney and urinary tract health, with a focus on children (pediatric nephrology and urology). A recurring theme in his work is how the kidney's built-in immune defenses respond to urinary tract infections, along with how conditions like vesicoureteral reflux (urine flowing backward toward the kidney) affect kidney function over time. His research combines clinical studies in patients with laboratory work in cell and animal models.

Publication activity rose to a peak around 2019-2020 and has since settled into a steady output of roughly 8-10 papers per year.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
