DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The basic areas of research that interest me include renal physiology, renal transport mechanisms and ion transport in general. I developed a strong interest in the renal system when I was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy in 1997. This interest only increased when I became the recipient of a kidney transplant in 2001. I was fortunate to be accepted to the Ronald E. McNair Scholar Program which supported an undergraduate research project in which I studied epithelial sodium transport. The greater the understanding that I developed on the physiology of the kidneys only served to increase my desire to pursue research in this particular scientific field. I am currently working in the lab of Dr. Peter Aronson for my first rotation appointment; however I am required to complete at least two more rotations and am currently debating between four principle investigators and their research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我感兴趣的基本研究领域包括肾脏生理学、肾脏转运机制和一般离子转运。 1997 年，当我被诊断出患有 IgA 肾病时，我对肾脏系统产生了浓厚的兴趣。当我在 2001 年成为肾移植受者时，这种兴趣才有所增加。我很幸运地被 Ronald E. McNair 学者计划录取，该计划支持我研究上皮钠转运的本科研究项目。我对肾脏生理学的了解越深入，只会增加我在这个特定科学领域进行研究的愿望。我目前正在 Peter Aronson 博士的实验室工作，这是我的第一次轮换任命；然而，我还需要完成至少两次轮换，目前正在与四位主要研究人员及其研究进行辩论。
