Under the supervision of Dr. Rodan, a senior nephrologist at the University of Utah specializing in renal disorders and hypertension, I will use multiple genotypes of D.

In addition, I will consider the possibility of rescuing high salt sensitivity with mutations to a regulator in G-protein signaling, Loco.
