COSTELLODepartment of Physiology and Functional Genomics, University of Florida, Gainesville, FloridaFigure 1.Hannah CostelloDownload figureDownload PowerPointHannah Costello is a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Michelle Gumz’s laboratory at the University of Florida in the Department of Physiology and Functional Genomics. She completed her British Heart Foundation-funded PhD in 2021 at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interest focuses on the role of the adrenal and kidney clock in blood pressure regulation. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, and reading [Photo: Fig. 1].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00385.2021LAUREN G. DOUMADepartment of Physiology and Functional Genomics, University of Florida, Gainesville, FloridaFigure 2.Lauren DoumaDownload figureDownload PowerPointLauren Douma is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Florida in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She completed her PhD in Genetics and Genomics at the University of Florida. In 2017, she began her postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Michelle Gumz and since then has been studying the role of the kidney molecular circadian clock in blood pressure regulation. Additionally, she teaches undergraduate- and graduate-level biochemistry and molecular biology courses. She enjoys running, baking, and reading comic books in her free time [Photo: Fig. 2].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00385.2021RADMILA MICANOVICDivision of Nephrology and Hypertension, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IndianaFigure 3.Dr. Radmila MicanovicDownload figureDownload PowerPointDr. Radmila Micanovic is an Assistant Research Professor of Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension. She is a researcher and laboratory manager in Dr. Tarek El-Ashkar’s laboratory, a Principal Investigator of the same Division. Prior to joining the Indiana University School of Medicine, she spent 20 yr working in the pharmaceutical industry in drug discovery. She earned her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Wyoming and completed her postdoctoral studies at the former Roche Institute of Molecular Biology. Her BS degree in Molecular Biology and Physiology was completed in her home country, at the University of Belgrade, Republic of Serbia. Her current work with Dr. El-Achkar focuses on the role of Tamm-Horsfall protein in renal physiology and in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury. Away from the laboratory, she enjoys great literature, movies, and European TV shows [Photo: Fig. 3].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00322.2021SUMIT R. MONUDivision of Hypertension and Vascular Research, Department of Internal Medicine, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MichiganFigure 4.Sumit R. MonuDownload figureDownload PowerPointSumit R. Monu is currently an Instructor-II in the Division of Hypertension and Vascular Research (Internal Medicine) at Henry Ford Hospital and an affiliate Assistant Professor at Wayne State University. He completed his Veterinary Medicine degree (DVM) from Madras Veterinary College, India, and did his PhD at the University of Toledo School of Medicine. Currently, he is working on unraveling the role/mechanism of altered renal hemodynamics in kidney damage commonly seen in obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Away from the laboratory, he enjoys traveling along with his wife, Mani, and playing with his son, Neil, and is fond of great food and music [Photo: Fig. 4].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00307.2021This article has no references to display.
