Dr. Parekh is a clinician-scientist and an international leader in clinical epidemiology and translational research in kidney disease. Her work has revealed novel genetic risk factors leading to kidney disease and increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality for children and adults with kidney disease. At the University of Michigan, Dr. Parekh was uniquely trained in paediatrics and internal medicine with subspecialty training in both paediatric and adult nephrology and research training, completing her Master\u2019s in Biostatistics and Study Design. She subsequently went on to postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University and joined the faculty in 2000. She successfully competed for an NIH Career Development Research Award and the American Society of Nephrology Carl W. Gottschalk Award for young investigators, establishing successful research programs in the genetics and cardiovascular complications of kidney disease.<\/div>
