Research summary
AI-generated

Pierre C. Dagher studies kidney disease, focusing on how the kidney responds to injury from causes such as sepsis (a severe body-wide response to infection), diabetes, and inflammation. The work uses modern molecular tools like single-cell transcriptomics (measuring gene activity in individual cells) and tissue-mapping techniques to understand what happens to kidney cells at the molecular level during damage and repair. Specific interests include acute kidney injury, protein-synthesis regulation, and immune cell contributions to kidney damage.

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.
