Rabi Yacoub, MD, interim division chief, has a strong commitment to academic nephrology, clinical innovation and interdisciplinary education. Rabi’s research is focused on identifying modifiable factors that contribute to the progression of CKD, with an emphasis on gut microbiota composition and its correlation with disease states.

We are committed to furthering the field of nephrology and are known for our leading-edge research, world-class faculty, excellent training opportunities and compassionate patient care. 

We take pride in the fellow, resident and medical student training we provide. Through robust curriculum and personalized mentoring in diverse training environments, we prepare tomorrow’s physicians to be knowledgeable, forward-thinking professionals.

Our research activities cover a broad range of topics in renal physiology and nephrology.
