Research Fellow - Radiology

The basic research interest of Sanjay Misra, M.D., includes understanding the mechanisms of hemodialysis graft failure.

• Animal models of hemodialysis graft failure.In his laboratory, fellows study the mechanisms responsible for hemodialysis graft failure. They use animal models, such as the mouse and pig, to understand why hemodialysis grafts fail.

• Improved delivery of hemodialysis therapies.The goal of Dr. Misra's team is to develop novel therapies to improve patency of the hemodialysis vascular access that can be delivered using image guidance, such as ultrasound, or balloons coated with the therapy of interest.
