Research
The general aim of my PhD thesis is to pharmaceutically profile new repurposing candidates for the treatment of the hereditary kidney disease ADPKD. I will perform a series of ADME assays. Then, the intracellular compound concentration and the corresponding pharmacological effect will be investigated using 3D cultured kidney organoids and global proteomics. Furthermore, subcellular target and off-target interaction for lead candidates will be studied and the findings will be combined in a PBPK model.
The project is part of the EU 'DRUGtrain' network.
