Research Focus
Dr. Farzad Fereidouni's lab focuses on developing a new microscopy technique to improve the evaluation of kidney fibrosis, a condition that affects many patients with chronic kidney disease. The lab aims to create a rapid and accurate tool for detecting fibrosis directly from commonly used tissue slides, ultimately enhancing patient diagnosis and treatment outcomes. This research blends advanced imaging technology with practical applications in renal pathology.
