Our trainees are exposed to a high volume and wide variety of clinical cases and work alongside our faculty to address the overarching mission of our division. Furthermore, our partnership with Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center provides a unique experience for our trainees in improving the health of veterans with kidney disease. We welcome you to review the details of our nephrology fellowship program (https://medicine.stonybrookmedicine.edu/medicine/nephrology/fellowship) at Stony Brook. Our research in the division is focused on the entire spectrum of kidney disorders from investigating the fundamental mechanisms to prevention and treatment, in order to facilitate the development of therapeutic interventions that has direct benefit to patients suffering from kidney disease. Along with our partnerships with other institutions, such as Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and other disciplines at the Stony Brook University, we are exposed to a rich academic environment that facilitates collaborations and opportunities for ongoing research.
