Dr. Mauer's primary research focus is the kidney disease of diabetes [diabetic nephropathy (DN)], the leading cause of kidney failure in the Western world. Dr. Mauer directs a large clinical trial aimed at primary prevention of DN. He is studying the cellular, molecular and genetic basis of the disorder. He is helping to unravel the relationships of the kidney structural changes to the kidney functional changes of DN. He is also evaluating the reversibility of DN injury following cure of diabetes with pancreas transplantation and recurrence of the disease in diabetic kidney transplant recipients. His work is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International and by the Merck Pharmaceutical company.
