Dr. Adler's experimental and clinical research focuses on all aspects of diabetic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis. She recently discovered molecules in the urine that facilitate the identification of kidney disease early on; this discovery is expected to open up new avenues for the treatment of kidney disease and for the preservation of the peritoneal membrane. She is a member of two NIH-sponsored consortia to understand the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases in order to find new treatments based on a more sophisticated understanding of pathogenesis.
