Biography
The research of Marianne Verhaar focuses on renal and vascular regeneration and involves translational studies from basic cell studies to animal experiments and clinical trials. Het general aim is to improve care for the patient with chronic kidney disease by developing new strategies to enhance protective mechanisms against microvascular dysfunction, atherosclerotic disease and chronic kidney disease, to enhance vascular and renal regeneration and to improve renal replacement therapies. Specific interests of her group are: mechanisms underlying increased cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease, the realation between chronic kidney disease, microvascular dysfunction and heart failure, the role of (bone marrow-derived) stem and progenitor cells or cellular products in vascular and renal regeneration and their therapeutic potential in patients with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease; development of renal organoids and search for renal stem cells using specific stem cell markers; investigate the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells for renal regeneration; development of a wearable artificial kidney.
