Description of Itmat Expertise

Dr. Yudkoff is investigating amino acid metabolism in the brain and whole body, focusing on the development of new treatments for children with inborn errors of nitrogen metabolism such as the urea cycle defects. He has developed novel methods with which to measure flux through the urea cycle (the rate of ureagenesis) in a living individual.
