Kidney Research Scientist
Kidney Research Scientists study the causes, treatments, and prevention of diseases of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. They may also design and conduct clinical trials to test new treatments for kidney disease, and they may develop educational programs to teach patients about kidney disease and its management.
Necessary Education
Kidney Research Scientists typically need a doctoral degree in a field such as medicine, biology, or chemistry. They may also need to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in nephrology.
