Seldin and Giebisch's The Kidney

Dr. Alpern has performed research in the area of epithelial physiology, focusing on the mechanisms and regulation of acid transport. He received his MD degree from the University of Chicago and then trained in Internal Medicine at Columbia Presbyterian. Following postdoctoral training in the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the University of California, San Francisco, Alpern joined the faculty at UCSF, then moved to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School as Chief of Nephrology and later Dean of the medical school. He is now Dean of Yale School of Medicine and Ensign Professor. Dr. Caplan studies epithelial cell biology and physiology. His work focuses on the trafficking and regulation of renal ion transport proteins. His group also studies the signaling pathways involved in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. He received his MD and PhD degrees from Yale University, having pursued his dissertation work in the Department of Cell Biology under the guidance of Drs. James D. Jamieson and George E. Palade. Following postdoctoral work in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Yale, Caplan joined that department as a faculty member. He is currently the C.N.H. Long Professor and Chair of Yale University School of Medicine’s Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology. Dr. Moe received his medical degree from the University of Toronto where he also did his internal medicine residency and clinical nephrology fellowship. Orson Moe moved to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center for research training in renal physiology. He is currently Professor of Internal Medicine and Physiology and is a member of the Nephrology Division at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He is also the Director of the Charles and Jane Pak Center of Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research and holds the Charles and Jane Pak Chair in Mineral Metabolism Research and the Donald Seldin Professorship in Clinical Investigation. Orson Moe conducts both basic science and patient-oriented research on renal physiology and metabolism, and epithelial biology. Susan E. Quaggin, MD, FASN, is a graduate of the University of Toronto where she completed her residency and served as chief medical resident for the University’s St. Michael’s Hospital. She completed her nephrology fellowship at the University of Toronto and Yale University, where she also completed research and post-doctoral training. Dr. Quaggin also trained in the developmental biology program at the University of Toronto's Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute. Dr. Quaggin also now serves as Editor for Current Opinion in Nephrology & Hypertension and The Kidney, and as an Editorial Board Member for JCI, Disease Models and Mechanisms, and Kidney International. Currently the Charles Horace Mayo professor of medicine at Northwestern University and a Finnish Distinguished Professor (2012-2017), Dr. Quaggin’s awards and honors include the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) Alfred Newton Richards Award for Basic Science, (2013); a Kidney Foundation of Canada Medal for Research Excellence, (2009); American Heart Association, Hypertension Council Donald Seldin Lecture and Award, (2012); Princesses’ Lectureship at the Victor Chang Cardiovascular Research Institute, (2013); a W. Berliner Lectureship at Yale University, (2015); a Ruth Abrahmson Visiting Lectureship, (2015); a Josh Thurman Visiting Lectureship, (2015); an Andreoli Lectureship, (2015); a Phillip A. Liverman Distinguished Lectureship, (2014); a Tisher Visiting Professor of Nephrology, (2012), a Mitch Lectureship (2016), the Shaul-Massry Visiting Professor (2017); a Gabor‐Zellerman Endowed Professorship in Renal Medicine, (2009‐2012); the University of Toronto's Department of Medicine Research Award, (2009) and William Goldie Prize in Internal Medicine, (2005); The Lloyd S.D. Fogler QC Award of Excellence, at Mount Sinai Hospital, (2004); Premier’s Research Excellence Award (PREA), (2003); and The Joe Doupe Canadian Society of Clinical Investigation Young Investigator Award, (2003). She served as Canada Research Chair in Vascular Biology from 2005 to 2010. She was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation in 2006 and the Association of American Physicians in 2013.
