Basic/Clinical Science Session
Novel Regulators of Renal Tubular Transport
November 08, 2019 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: 146 C, Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Session Description
Recent studies have shed light on factors that play strong roles to influence renal and cellular transport, but that, until recently, had not been carefully studied. This session highlights the roles of these novel players in renal physiology, focusing on the role of the circadian clock in renal function, new insights into regulators of renal transporters, and newly appreciated roles of the pro-renin receptor.
Learning Objective(s)
- Describe the role of circadian rhythm in regulating sodium transport
- Discuss novel players in the regulation of renal transporters
- Describe novel roles for the pro-renin receptor
Learning Pathway(s)
- Cell and Transport Physiology
Moderators
- Carolyn M. Ecelbarger, PhD
- Mykola Mamenko, PhD

Robert A. Fenton, PhD, FASN
Robert A. Fenton, PhD, FASN
Robert A. Fenton received his PhD in Physiology from the University of Manchester, UK and undertook the majority of his postdoctoral training at the Laboratory of Kidney and Electrolyte Metabolism, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA. For the last 15 years he has conducted research at Aarhus University, Denmark, where is currently Professor of Molecular Cell Biology and leader of a membrane protein research group and research center. He is recognized internationally as a major contributor to the core knowledge base of renal epithelial cell physiology and nephrology and has made landmark achievements in the field of urea transporters, aquaporin water channels and various renal cotransporters. Prof. Fenton’s current research focuses on the molecular regulation of renal membrane proteins important for blood pressure control and water balance. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed manuscripts and his accomplishments are recognized by numerous competitive national and international awards, including major awards from the Renal Section of the American Physiological Society and the Nordic research community, including the Anders Jahre Prize for Young Researchers and the Elite Research Prize from the Danish Ministry of Science and Education.

Tianxin Yang, MD, PhD
Tianxin Yang, MD, PhD
Tianxin Yang, Ph.D., is Professor of Medicine and Dialysis Research Foundation Endowed Chair at University of Utah and Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Yang’s research program has been focused on the roles of prostaglandins, nuclear receptors, and more recently, (pro)renin receptor in hypertension and renal disease. He received numerous prestigious awards including Harry Goldblatt New Investigator from High Blood Pressure Council, Established Investigator Award from American Heart Association, Margret Amundsen Endowed Professor and Dialysis Research Foundation Endowed Chair from University of Utah, and Research Career Scientist Award from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and Lewis K. Dahl Lecture Award from the Council on Hypertension. He serves as Ad Hoc and regular member at grant review committees for American Heart Association, Department of Veterans Affairs, and National Institutes of Health. He has published more than 150 articles. These articles appear in Cell Metabolism，PNAS，Circulation Research, Hypertension, American Journal of Physiology, etc. He serves on editorial boards of Journal of American Society of Nephrology, Hypertension, and American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology. He is Consulting Editor of JCI Insight. He has delivered over 100 invited lectures at scientific meetings and academic institutions. He holds 5 patents, 3 of which have been licensed to a biotech company with successful completion of 4 Phase I clinical trials on the use of nitro lipids for treatment of metabolic diseases and renal diseases. This technology has entered a Phase II clinical trial.
