Key publications include 'The Therapeutic Evaluation of Steroids in IgA Nephropathy Global (TESTING) study - trial design and baseline characteristics' (American Journal of Nephrology, 2021), 'Effects of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin on proteinuria in non-diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (DIAMOND)' (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2020), 'Effect of Oral Methylprednisolone on Decline in Kidney Function or Kidney Failure in Patients With IgA Nephropathy' (JAMA, 2022), 'Effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular, renal and safety outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis' (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2019), and contributions to the Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology Clinical Practice Guideline on Diabetic Kidney Disease (Nephrology, 2020). He influences the field through leadership as Chair of the Education Committee of the Asia Pacific Society of Nephrology, Chair of the Oceania South East Asia Regional Board of the International Society of Nephrology, steering committee member of the Sydney Local Health District Clinical Trial group, and Co-Chair of the local organising committee for the Australia New Zealand Society of Nephrology Annual Scientific Meeting in Sydney 2022.
