    Curcumin Therapy to Treat Vascular Dysfunction in Children and Young Adults with ADPKD
    Role Description: The major goal of this project is to examine the effect of curcumin, a naturally occurring polyphenol with the unique ability to activate transcription of key antioxidants, suppress inflammation, and reduce proliferation, on vascular endothelial function and large-elastic artery stiffness in children and young adults with ADPKD.

    Daily Caloric Restriction and Intermittent Fasting in Overweight and Obese Adults with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
    Role Description: This translational pilot and feasibility study will determine the feasibility of delivering a 12 week behavioral weight loss intervention in adults with overweight/obesity and early-stage ADPKD, based on either daily caloric restriction or intermittent fasting, as well as evaluate safety, acceptability, tolerability, and mechanistic insight into biological pathways that may be altered.
