Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Eileen N. Ellis's research has focused on the structural and functional aspects of diabetic nephropathy, particularly in individuals with Type I diabetes mellitus. Her work has investigated glomerular lesions, urinary albumin excretion, and the filtration surface in this patient population. Ellis has also explored methods to prevent basement membrane thickening in experimental diabetes models.
Her research has extended to pediatric populations, examining risk factors for mortality in young children undergoing dialysis and the use of short-acting nifedipine in children with hypertension. More recently, her investigations have included the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid in pediatric kidney transplant recipients, specifically looking at the influence of UGT1A9, UGT2B7, and MRP2 genotypes.
Ellis leads a research group and has an h-index of 23 with over 2,800 citations across 48 publications. She is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
