Description
Jun-yi Zhu introduces his kidney disease research in a first-person interview from twenty twenty-three. The series profiles first authors alongside their journal papers. Zhu studies fruit flies as a model for human disease. His paper concerns a gene variant that speeds kidney cell death. People of African ancestry carry these risk variants more often. They raise kidney disease risk through mechanisms still being traced. In flies, the variants damage kidney-like cells and block cell cleanup. Zhu explains those findings in plain words for non-scientists.
