Biography

Brandon Lane is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Duke University, focusing on nephrology. He has earned his Ph.D. from Virginia Commonwealth University, School of Medicine, in 2012. His research is primarily centered on understanding the regulators of calcineurin pathways as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for nephrotic syndrome. He has received various grants from the National Institutes of Health to study the genetic basis of corticosteroid response in childhood nephrotic syndrome and to explore the role of chloride channel 5 in maintaining podocyte structure and function.
