    Mechanisms of Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Treated Patients
    Role Description: Novel immunotherapies have revolutionized cancer treatment by producing long-term remission for patients with many kinds of cancer; however, their use is limited by toxicity that occurs due to inflammation in various organs. We seek to better understand the mechanisms behind immunotherapy toxicity in the kidneys (ICI-AIN) by profiling the populations of immune cells that are increased in patients with ICI-AIN and by assessing the interactions between immune cells and kidney cells that take place in patients with ICI-AIN. These studies will inform the development of non-invasive diagnostic tests for ICI-AIN, and improved treatments for ICI-AIN with fewer side effects, which will enable cancer patients to continue receiving immunotherapy to treat their cancer.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
