Dr. Laura Perin is an Associate Professor at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. Dr Perin obtained a master’s degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Padova, and a Ph.D. in Stem cells and Tissue Engineering at the Harvard School of Medicine. Dr. Perin’s research is focused on studying the mechanisms that regulate kidney damage, with specific attention to glomerular injuries. Dr Perin uses different regenerative approaches including extracellular vesicles, stem cells, organ a chip technology, and development biology to understand the molecular mechanisms that modulate renal regeneration. Dr. Perin has received many intramural and extramural awards and has published more than 70 articles in the field of renal regeneration.
