NIH supporting Arizona State University research to help in fight against kidney disease
Date:6/8/2012

take in the kidneys is affected by diabetes and the strain nanoparticle uptake puts on the kidneys.

"We are doing this with noninvasive imaging. We are developing ways to detect all of this without having to do biopsies or collect body tissue," Bennett explains.

Bennett's team includes: professor Teresa Wu, an industrial engineer and an associate professor in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering; Min Zhang, a doctoral student working under Wu; professor John Bertam, head of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Monash University in Australia; and Scott Beeman, a biomedical engineering doctoral student working in Bennett's laboratory.

Beeman has taken a lead role in the kidney research project and recently presented a progress report at a meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance Medicine in Melbourne, Australia.

"It's rare that a Ph.D. student can push a whole field of research forward, but that's what Scott has done," Bennett says.

The team is already in the preclinical stage of research. "We are moving the technique to clinical trials, and we have already developed better nanoparticles and more sensitive ways to detect them."

The next step will be working with human donor kidneys.
