Assistant Professor Department of Pediatrics Duke University
Dr. Lane received his PhD in Human and Molecular Genetics from Virginia Commonwealth University. After completing postdoctoral training in gene therapy at UNC Chapel Hill, he joined the lab of Rasheed Gbadegesin at Duke University to study the genetics of pediatric kidney disease. While working under the mentorship of Dr. Gbadegesin, he was able to identify multiple single-gene causes of Nephrotic Syndrome as well as help define diagnostic criteria for genetic testing in these patients. The focus of Dr. Lane’s current work is identifying podocyte-related disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets for the development of personalized medicine for patients with Nephrotic Syndrome.
