Tarek M. El-Achkar studies kidney biology and disease, with a strong focus on a protein called uromodulin (also known as Tamm-Horsfall protein) and how it influences kidney function, inflammation, and conditions like acute kidney injury and kidney stones. The research combines laboratory models (including mice), patient cohort studies, and advanced imaging and gene-expression techniques to understand how kidneys work and how injuries can be prevented or treated. Work also extends to kidney transplantation outcomes and genetic kidney disorders.
