Zeidel Laboratory

Our Mission Is to Discover the Basic Cellular Mechanisms that Cause Diseases of the Lower Urinary Tract, Improve Treatments and Alleviate Patient Suffering

Research Areas

Bladder Research

 

Man and woman with overactive bladder

Areas of active investigation by members of our team, include understanding the neural circuits that control bladder function, bladder-brain responses to outlet obstruction and urinary retention, bladder dysfunction in diabetes, overactive bladder, and ketamine cystitis

Kidney Research

Brain talks to kidney

How does the brain control kidney function? Little is known about the precise neurons that project to the spinal cord and to the kidney, to regulate renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. Working together with Dr. Sean Stocker at the University of Pittsburgh, this project will map circuits that are critical for maintaining blood pressure and water/electrolyte balance

Our Lab is Located in the Longwood/Fenway Area of Boston
