Overview

Gregory G. Germino is affiliated with the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a particular emphasis on molecular biology and genetics as key subfields. Their work spans a range of topics, including genetic and kidney cyst diseases, renal and related cancers, protist diversity and phylogeny, metabolism and genetic disorders, health systems and economic evaluations, and research methodologies such as the Delphi technique. Dialysis and renal disease management also feature among their principal topics of investigation.

Germino's recent scholarly contributions include several publications covering various aspects of nephrology and molecular biology. Notable recent papers include the 2020 publication "Establishing a Core Outcome Set for Peritoneal Dialysis: Report of the SONG-PD (Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Peritoneal Dialysis) Consensus Workshop" published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases; "Mechanisms of Cyst Development in Polycystic Kidney Disease" in Advances in Kidney Disease and Health (2023); "Pathway identification through transcriptome analysis" in Cellular Signalling (2020); "In vivo Polycystin-1 interactome using a novel Pkd1 knock-in mouse model" in PLoS ONE (2023); and "A novel ARPKD mouse model with near-complete deletion of the Polycystic Kidney and Hepatic Disease 1 (Pkhd1) genomic locus presents with multiple phenotypes but not renal cysts," published in Kidney International in 2023.

Key frequent co-authors collaborating with Germino include Luís F. Menezes, Fang Zhou, Yu Ishimoto, Jiahe Qiu, and Takeshi Terabayashi.

Germino's works have appeared in a variety of publication venues, with recurrent appearances in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, which features five of their contributions. Other venues include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), American Journal of Kidney Diseases, Advances in Kidney Disease and Health, and PLoS ONE.

Among professional recognitions, Germino has been named a member of the Association of American Physicians.
