UVA receives training grant for new kidney disease researchers

after the damage is done and especially for those on dialysis, is diminished," says Dr. Okusa. "We hope these new researchers may identify why kidneys fail and how to cure or reverse kidney diseases through the development of new treatment and therapies to improve the quality of life of millions of people who suffer from kidney disease."

Nephrology is one of many specialty areas which are experiencing a shortage of physicians. Okusa says that while the number of physicians going into nephrology is barely keeping up with demand, there is no comparison to the number of physicians and scientists going into nephrology research, which is miniscule by comparison.

"If we are to meet the rapidly growing need for academic physicians and investigators, programs such as this one are vital," says R. Edward Howell, Vice President and CEO of UVA Medical Center. "Receiving one of these highly competitive grants is a testament to the integrated, multi-disciplinary training program put together by Dr. Okusa and his colleagues."
