Michael D. Ross's research focuses on nephrotic syndrome and glomerular diseases, investigating the associations between structural kidney lesions and clinical outcomes, as well as transcriptomic profiles. He has published on the rationale and design of clinical trials for glomerular diseases, including the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) Match. His work also explores the role of ADAR in regulating APOL1 through RNA editing, specifically in the context of MDA5 activation. This research has led to publications on the glomerular transcriptomic landscape of apolipoprotein L1 in Black patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

In addition to his work in nephrology, Ross has conducted research on the scope of practice for physical therapists, particularly concerning their ability to refer patients for musculoskeletal imaging. Observational studies have assessed physical therapist awareness of referral jurisdictions and the performance of requisite skills for direct referral.
