Marimar Contreras Nieves
Clinical Scholar, Medicine - Nephrology
Postdoctoral Scholar, NephrologyBioI am currently in my second year of nephrology fellowship, working on a Masters in clinical research and epidemiology, and also doing postdoctoral research on a U2C-TL1. During my training I have worked on clinical research focused on environmental risk factors and health care barriers that can initiate or accelerate the development and progression of kidney disease. My goal is to reach disadvantaged populations and help reduce the gaps in health that may stem from their vulnerability to determinantal environmental exposures. My projects have included investigating chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology, with particular interest in California’s Central Valley.

Ali Etemadi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Nephrology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a clinician and data scientist focusing on drawing causal inferences from observational data when randomized controlled trials are not feasible. Currently, my work centers on patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease, a rapidly growing population for which evidence is limited due to their frequent exclusion from RCTs. At the moment, I aim to move towards precision medicine approaches to optimize outcomes for these patients.

Richard Lafayette
Professor of Medicine (Nephrology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are continuing to grow a glomerulonephritis cohort study, including immunologic characterization. We have completed interventional studies of preeclampsia exploring the nitric oxide, endothelin system and effects on glomerular function and morphometry. We continue to recruit patients for treatment and observational studies of glomerular disease, including FSGS, membranous and particularly IgA nephropathy. We also are actively studying renal disease in systemic amyloidosis.
