Research Interests
Lisa Guay-Woodford, MD is an internationally recognized expert in the field of polycystic kidney disease. Her major research effort focuses on identifying the genetic factors involved in the pathogenesis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). This work has two components: (1) positional cloning efforts to identify disease genes and (2) complex trait analyses to identify candidate modifier genes. As part of the International ARPKD Consortium, her group cloned PKHD1, the major gene involved in human ARPKD. In addition, she characterized two distinct mouse models, cpk and bpk, in which the disease phenotype closely resembles human ARPKD and identified the genes, Cys1 and Bicc1, disrupted in each model, respectively. Her current efforts are centered on characterizing the functional roles of these genes and their protein products in normal development and disease pathogenesis.
