Editorial introductions

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension was launched in 1992. It is part of a successful series of review journals whose unique format is designed to provide a systematic and critical assessment of the literature as presented in the many primary journals. The field of nephrology and hypertension is divided into 12 sections that are each reviewed once a year. Each section is assigned a Section Editor, a leading authority in the area, who identifies the most important topics at that time. Here we are pleased to introduce the Section Editors for this issue. SECTION EDITORS Tamara IsakovaTamara IsakovaDr Isakova conducts clinical research in the area of disordered mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease. In addition to her research, she provides clinical care for patients with chronic kidney disease, bone and mineral metabolism disorders, and kidney stones. She earned her medical degree from State University of New York Downstate College of Medicine, USA and a Master of Medical Science (MMSc) from Harvard Medical School, USA. She completed internal medicine training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and nephrology training at the combined Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham & Women's Hospital nephrology fellowship program. She has received research support from the American Kidney Fund, the American Heart Association, the American Society of Nephrology, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and the National Institutes of Health. Dr Isakova is a leader in postdoctoral training and has mentored medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty, many of whom are developing independent research programs focused on improving clinical outcomes for patients with kidney diseases. Aline MartinAline MartinDr Aline Martin, PhD, MSc, is Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, USA. She is a graduate of the University Jean Monnet, Saint-Etienne, France, and completed her postdoctoral training at the Jared Grantham Kidney Institute, Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, USA. Dr Martin conducts basic and translational science research in the area of bone and mineral metabolism disorders and actively mentors undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral trainees. Dr Martin's research involves multiple national and international collaborations. She has received research support from the National Institute of Health and is a current member of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, American Society of Nephrology and American Heart Association. Orson W MoeOrson W MoeOrson Moe received his medical degree, residency in internal medicine and fellowship in nephrology at the University of Toronto, Canada. He is currently Professor of Internal Medicine and Physiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA. Moe is a clinician-scientist-educator. He holds the Charles Pak Distinguished Chair in Mineral Metabolism. The Donald W. Seldin Professorship in Clinical Research, and the administrative position as the Director of the Charles and Jane Pak Center of Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research. He conducts both human and basic research in epithelial transport and metabolism, mineral homeostasis, and pathophysiology of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Moe is very active in education at the institutional, national, and international level. He is a member of the American Physiologic Society, American Society of Nephrology. International Society of Nephrology, American Society of Clinical Investigation, and Association of American Physicians. Susan E. QuagginSusan E. QuagginSusan E. Quaggin, MD, FRCP(C), FASN, is a graduate of the University of Toronto, Canada, 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, Canada and Yale University, USA, where she also completed research and post-doctoral training. Dr Quaggin's research focuses on fundamental processes needed to establish and maintain the integrity of the specialized vascular beds in the kidney and other organs. To understand and identify new therapeutic targets, she has worked to develop genetic mouse models that allow cell and time-specific manipulation of functional genes. Translation of her group's findings regarding the vasculature reveals pathogenic mechanisms and new therapeutic targets for a number of diseases, including diabetic kidney and eye disease, nephrotic syndrome and glaucoma. She is currently the Charles Horace Mayo Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University, USA, where she serves as the Chief of the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension and the Director of the Feinberg Cardiovascular and Renal Research Institute. Dr Quaggin was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation in 2006, the Association of American Physicians (AAP) in 2013, the National Academy of Medicine in 2019 and the National Academy of Inventors in 2021. She is serving as President of the American Society of Nephrology and is a councilor of AAP. Barry M. BrennerBarry M. BrennerBarry M. Brenner is Director Emeritus of the Renal Division, Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA. He earned a B.S. in biology at the Long Island University, USA, in 1958, and his M.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, USA in 1962. Dr Brenner completed his internship and residency at the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA in 1966. He continued his career in research positions at the National Heart Institute, and the University of California, San Francisco, USA before arriving at Harvard in 1976. Dr Brenner has held various positions at the Brigham and Women's Hospital including: Director, Laboratory of Kidney and Electrolyte Physiology, Senior Physician and Director. His basic and clinical research focuses on mechanisms of glomerular function in health and disease. Dr Brenner is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (Councillor from 1980 to 1982, Vice-President from 1983 to 1984), the American Society of Nephrology (Councillor from 1980 to 1986, President from 1986 to 1987). Furthermore, a member of the American Society of Hypertension (Organizing Committee from 1985 to 1987, Executive Committee from 1986 to 1995, President from 1994 to 1995), International Society of Nephrology (Councillor from 1987 to 1998, Co-Chairman, Commission for Global Advancement of Nephrology from 1994 to 1999), American Association of Physicians (Councillor, from 1995 to 1999); and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Chair, Section on Medical Sciences from 1995 to 1998). Dr Brenner has received numerous awards and accolades, including his most recent honors: Best Doctors in America, Second Edition (1997); Fellow, Royal College of Physicians, London (1998); Jean Hamburger Award (1999) and Amgen Prize (2003), International Society of Nephrology; and the Homer Smith (1984) and John P. Peters (2000) Awards, American Society of Nephrology. Dr Brenner has held 25 editorial board appointments, has published more than 600 scientific articles and 45 books and has participated in over 300 lectures and/or professorships.
