My current projects focus on 1) critically ill patients in the intensive care unit who acquire infections and/or develop acute kidney injury, and 2) improving outcomes of kidney transplant recipients. I apply epidemiological analyses linking clinical data to molecular data such as genomic information, messenger RNAs, lipids and metabolites. By profiling the immune system of critically ill patients, I study heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTE). I also use causal inference methods to address time-dependent confounding in the development of complications during hospital admission.
