Biography

Dr. Bataille is an expert in the field of renal physiology, focusing on the molecular mechanisms by which uric acid is eliminated from the body by the kidneys. Before coming to Eastern, Professor Bataille earned her Ph.D. in Physiology and Neurobiology from the University of Connecticut. Following her degree she completed two Post-doctoral Research Fellowships at the University of Connecticut in the Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Nutritional Sciences.
