My research interests are focused on patients on dialysis or with renal insufficiency. I have three full time research coordinators assisting in multiple clinical trials. I participate in numerous pharma-sponsored trials of drugs and devices (phase 1 through 4). I also serve as lead investigator of independent and pharma-funded trials in the areas of anemia, hypertension, lipid disorders, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and vitamin D deficiency. I also strive to provide efficient access to other researchers who wish to perform studies in patients with renal disease. Our group has worked with investigators in multiple specialties to provide access and support for innovative studies in this unique population.
