Haojia Wu, PhD

Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Nephrology

Dr. Wu works on using human stem cells to generate kidney organoids, with the goal of one day transplanting them into patients with kidney failure. Wu’s research expertise is in exploring stem cells as a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic nephropathy and the use of single cell RNA sequencing.
