Mayer IgA Nephropathy Research Group

We conduct world-leading research focused on IgA nephropathy (IgAN), a chronic kidney condition that typically affects young, healthy adults and teenagers.

The Mayer IgA Nephropathy Research Group is based at the University of Leicester, under the leadership of Professor Jon Barratt, a world-renowned expert in the disease.  The talented team is making a significant contribution to researching treatments.  The ultimate goal is to find a cure. 

Our research is publicly available to all researchers.  This approach allows discoveries made at Leicester to have broader applications for those suffering from other chronic kidney diseases and autoimmune conditions.

We also run an annual patient day, which provides a forum for those with IgAN to share knowledge and learn about new research developments.
