Dr. Krepinsky is a Professor at McMaster University and clinician-scientist with the Division of Nephrology. Her practice involves general nephrology and care of patients with chronic kidney disease due to diabetes and other causes. Her lab studies the molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of kidney disease secondary to hypertension and diabetes. The primary focus is the study of signaling molecules and pathways which regulate fibrosis in an effort to identify potential antifibrotic drug targets. In vivo relevance is tested using a variety of diabetic and nondiabetic kidney fibrosis models. The lab is funded by various granting agencies including Diabetes Canada, and benefits from important contributions from students at all levels.
