Rate My Professor Andrew Bahn

Andrew Bahn is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physiology, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Otago. His research specializes in renal transport physiology, focusing on organic anion transporters (OATs), urate handling, and related metabolic pathways. Bahn has authored numerous influential publications elucidating the function of renal transporters. Key works include 'Human renal organic anion transporter 4 operates as an asymmetric urate transporter' in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (2007), which has received 337 citations; 'Identification of a new urate and high affinity nicotinate transporter, hOAT10 (SLC22A13)' in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (2008, 291 citations); 'Gender differences in kidney function' in Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology (2007, 281 citations); 'Characterization and identification of steroid sulfate transporters of human placenta' in the American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism (2003, 223 citations); and 'Human organic anion transporter 3 (hOAT3) can operate as an exchanger and mediate secretory urate flux' in Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry (2003, 216 citations). These studies have advanced understanding of urate reabsorption, drug interactions, gender-specific renal function, placental transport, and neuroactive metabolite handling.
