Johannes Schlöndorff studies the molecular causes of kidney disease, focusing on how genetic mutations affect specialized kidney filtering cells called podocytes and the proteins that support their structure (such as ACTN4, INF2, and TRPC6). This work aims to understand rare and genetic forms of kidney damage, including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and disease linked to APOL1 gene variants, which are more common in people of African ancestry. The research combines cell biology, mouse models, and genetics to explain why certain gene mutations cause kidney injury.
