The recently discovered (pro)renin receptor: examination of its role in diabetes and heart disease

人们认为，一种被称为肾素受体的蛋白质可能导致心血管疾病，但对其在正常细胞功能中的作用知之甚少。我的项目将研究这种蛋白质的正常功能，并确定它在心血管疾病中的作用。这一信息对开发新药至关重要。我将在一个著名的海外实验室进行这项研究，在那里我将学习新的技能，我可以把我带回澳大利亚。

It is thought that a protein known as the (pro)renin receptor may cause cardiovascular disease, however little is known about its role in normal cell function. My project will investigate the normal function of this protein and determine what role it has in cardiovascular disease. This information will be essential for the development of new drugs. I will be conducting this research in a prestigious overseas laboratory, where I will learn new skills that I can bring with me back to Australia.
