Columbia University Division of Nephrology
Cutting Edge Research and Expert Multidisciplinary Care
The division of Nephrology at Columbia University has a long history of doing outstanding fundamental research and pivotal clinical studies. Our goals are to combine cutting edge research with expert multidisciplinary care to transform the way we care for patients with kidney failure.
Our major strength is to introduce Precision Medicine into the practice of Nephrology by using genetics, genomics and data sciences to provide the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. This is achieved in partnership with a large number of departments and institutes at Columbia University and around the world.
By keeping the emphasis on the patient, we are able to focus on collaborating to make progress, and engaging the top experts to help solve ongoing problems. Another focus of the division is to educate the next generation of nephrologists and scientists. Trainees participate in all aspect of divisional and as a result, the division has produced many outstanding young investigators.
