2011 Renal Section Awardees-2011 Robert W. Berliner Award for Excellence in Renal Physiology

摘要

Dr. Lise Bankir is an internationally respected renal physiologist who has contributed now classic studies that have advanced our understanding of the renal concentrating mechanism and the effects of chronic elevations of plasma vasopressin on renal function and blood pressure. Her studies have ranged from comparative studies of urinary concentrating ability and the progression of chronic renal failure, measurements of the regional distribution of glomerular nitration rate, experimental studies in normal and transgenic animals, and molecular studies of transporter expression, to studies in human subjects.
