Dr. Bonegio also runs a laboratory that investigates the pathobiology of immune-complex glomerulonephritis to develop new therapeutics. His extensive scientific and laboratory work has given him a unique perspective on how to translate scientific breakthroughs to the clinical space. His expertise includes lupus nephritis, autoimmune kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, toxicity of immunosuppression, and genetics of immune-mediated kidney disease.
