Through hypothesis-driven research, or "molecular detective work" as she calls it, Greka and her team were able to determine the cause of the previously enigmatic kidney disease ADTKD - and even develop a promising treatment. Their work could lead to treatments for more than 50 other diseases, including ALS and Alzheimer's.
