Verlander Lab (Kidney Acid-Base and Electrolyte Balance)
Led by Jill W Verlander · Medicine (Nephrology)
What we study
The lab studies how the kidney keeps the blood's acid-base balance, salt and fluid balance, and blood pressure steady. Current work looks at how the kidney handles ammonium and at pendrin, a transporter in a small group of kidney cells that affects sodium-chloride balance.

Current projects
Renal ammonium metabolism and excretion
Studies Rh glycoproteins, the NBCe1 transporter and glutamine synthetase in kidney ammonia handling, with Dr. David Weiner.
Pendrin in the kidney
Studies how this chloride-bicarbonate exchanger regulates sodium-chloride balance and blood pressure, with Dr. Susan Wall of Emory.
