David Basile is Associate Professor at the Department of Cellular & Integrative Physiology at Indiana University School of Medicine.

His main research interest is the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) and its relationship to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). A central theme in his laboratory is to establish the relationship between acute injury and renal vascular damage and its consequences on chronic renal function. The goal of some these projects is to identify molecular pathways and physiological risk factors involved in progressive CKD following AKI, such that patients at high risk can be identified and treated. Other studies are geared to identify molecular mechanisms mediating cytoprotection and to identify specific alleles responsible for activating these pathways. The overall goal is to exploit the clues provided from a model of genetic resistance to AKI to develop a novel therapeutic approach for treatment.

Since 2003, Dr Basile has been on the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology.

Section Head: Nephrology > Pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (since 22 February 2008)

David Basile is a Section Head for Pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD), part of the NEPHROLOGY Faculty. The role of a Section Head is to work with their Co-Section Head(s) to divide the Section (sub-specialty area) into its component areas of research, nominate leaders in those areas as Faculty Members, and offer ongoing oversight of the content within their Section. They are not asked to evaluate articles, although we do, of course, welcome them.
