J. Alberto Navarro-García started his thesis project in 2016 at Cardiorenal Translational Laboratory, under the supervision of Dr. Gema Ruiz-Hurtado. During the last 4 years he has been working on cardiac effects developed in an experimental chronic kidney disease (CKD) model. He has been working with 5/6 nephrectomy, an animal model that reproduce human CKD. Alberto has analyzed calcum handling in ventricular cardiomyocytes isolated from CKD mice and also the possible role of FGF-23 and klotho as the link between cardiac and renal systems in pathological conditions.
