Job Summary: | The Division of Renal Diseases and Hypertension at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has a long legacy in academic medicine. Our mission is to provide the highest level of medical care to patients, to train the next generation of academic leaders, and to expand on cutting-edge basic and clinical investigation in Nephrology.

Please explore our website to learn more about our state-of-the-art clinical, educational and research programs, and distinguished faculty members. Dr. Katharina Hopp’s laboratory studies Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD) pathomechanisms. ADPKD is the most common monogenic kidney disease worldwide with currently limited therapeutic options to alleviate disease burden characterized by progressive kidney cyst growth and end stage kidney disease. ADPKD has many molecular and cellular commonalities with cancer, in which metabolism and immune cells within the microenvironment have shown tremendous potential for therapeutic intervention. We are interested in studying the role of these features in ADPKD progression and apply the knowledge gained from the cancer field to PKD. Key Responsibilities:

Why Join Us: | Dr. Hopp’s laboratory utilizes orthologous mouse models that mimic the human disease for all mechanistic and translational studies. This assure the most likely success to identify disease driving mechanism which can be therapeutically targeted in the clinic. In line with this, Dr. Hopp directs the preclinical PKD core of the CU Anschutz PKD program and has extensive experience in conducting industry and academic preclinical trials in PKD. The study of immunology and metabolism is currently a “hot topic” in PKD which is seen to have high translational value. Dr. Hopp’s lab utilizes state of the art models and technologies which include multiomics approaches (scRNAseq, metabolomics etc) to understand each pathway independently, but also interconnected. Dr. Hopp’s basic research program works closely together with the clinical PKD program at CU Anschutz. This assures direct access to clinical patient data as well as clinical samples allowing direct translation of basic science findings to the patient population. The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, tuition benefits, ECO pass, paid time off – vacation, sick, and holidays and more.
