As a post-Doctoral research associate, Dr. Bontha has worked on early biomarkers and
non-invasive biomarkers for the identification of allograft failure and monitoring
of graft function in kidney transplant recipients using techniques like epigenomics,
transcriptomics and small RNA analysis. Her interest lies on the analysis of cellular
crosstalk within the kidney in stably functioning renal allografts and those that
progress towards allograft failure.
