Research Interests

Dr Roy-Chaudhury's main research interest is in the pathogenesis and treatment of neointimal hyperplasia, both in the setting of dialysis access dysfunction and chronic allograft nephropathy. He is also actively involved in clinical trial research in both dialysis access and transplantation. Dr Roy-Chaudhury has published extensively in both these areas. He is funded by the National Institutes of Health for studies in the field of dialysis access and has lectured extensively (nationally and internationally) on this subject.
