Hypertension is a major contributor to chronic cardiovascular and renal diseases, with recent literature suggesting the pathogenesis is similar to that of autoimmune diseases. This fellowship will enhance the current understanding of the pathogenesis of hypertension and the associated inflammation of the kidneys and vasculature. It will also assess the therapeutic potential of drugs that dampen the immune response in several animal models of hypertension.
