Stanford University School of Medicine - Division of Nephrology
الولايات المتحدة · 博士
The Division of Nephrology at Stanford University is committed to world-class patient care for kidney disease, hypertension, and related conditions, conducting cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical research, and training the next generation of nephrologists. Research ranges from bench to bedside, with collaborations from Silicon Valley startups to public health teams in Sri Lanka.
学术历史
As part of Stanford School of Medicine, the division advances the tripartite mission of education, research, and patient care. Research spans basic, translational, and clinical science, with extensive collaborations across Genetics, Pediatrics, Immunology, Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Radiology, Biostatistics, and Chemical Engineering.
当前状态
The division offers training from the Pre-Ren program for undergraduates exploring kidney disease to ACGME-accredited general and transplant nephrology fellowships. Research covers diabetic kidney disease, hypertension, kidney stones, acute kidney injury, kidney transplantation, onconephrology, global health, and informatics.
