Biography:
Dr. Jacqueline Ho is a pediatric nephrology physician-scientist. She is currently the Division Director of Pediatric Nephrology at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Ho’s laboratory is focused on understanding how microRNAs and intrauterine exposures regulate kidney development and disease. Their research has shown that microRNAs are involved in regulating the proliferation and survival of nephron progenitors during kidney development, which has important implications for congenital nephron endowment and subsequent kidney health in children and adults.
