Overview

Nine V.A.M. Knoers is affiliated with the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of genetics and nephrology, specifically addressing chronic kidney disease and genetic testing in clinical practice. Knoers' work spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as well as Medicine, contributing extensively to the subfields of Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Nephrology.

Their published research covers key topics such as renal and related cancers, renal diseases and glomerulopathies, genomics and rare diseases, genetic and kidney cyst diseases, ion transport and channel regulation, renal cell carcinoma treatment, and BRCA gene mutations in cancer.

Recent notable publications authored or co-authored by Knoers include:

  • Genetic testing in the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease: recommendations for clinical practice, 2021, Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation
  • Genetics in chronic kidney disease: conclusions from a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference, 2022, Kidney International

Knoers has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Albertien M. van Eerde, Bert van der Zwaag, Laura R. Claus, Karl P. Schlingmann, and Jan Halbritter. These collaborations have contributed to a range of publications and studies across related nephrology and genetic research domains.

The scientist's work has been published in multiple venues with frequent contributions to the following journals:

  • Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
  • Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation
  • Kidney International
  • European Journal of Human Genetics
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Through these publications and collaborations, Knoers has contributed to advancing understanding in molecular biology and genetics applied to kidney diseases and inherited disorders. Their research provides insights relevant to clinical genome diagnostics and treatments in nephrology.
