<p class="p1">The major focus of research in the Ross laboratory is to identify novel mechanisms of kidney injury occurring in HIV-positive persons and his laboratory uses in vitro and murine models to generate new strategies to prevent and treat kidney diseases. Dr. Ross also works with members of the International Network for Strategic Initiatives in Global HIV Treatment (INSIGHT) to perform research on kidney disease in the context of large international HIV treatment trials.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ongoing NIH-funded projects:</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Mechanisms by which antiretroviral medications protect kidneys from HIV-induced injury:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Though combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is efficacious in preventing and treating HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN), the mechanisms by which these medications protect the kidney from the deleterious effects of HIV are poorly understood.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are performing studies using transgenic animal models and molecular and genomic techniques to identify novel pathways by which ART protect the kidneys from HIV.&nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover, we have exciting data suggesting that these medications may protect kidneys from non-viral mediated forms of kidney injury, including diabetic kidney disease.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>The role of APOL1 polymorphisms in promoting HIV-induced kidney injury:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Polymorphisms in the APOL1 gene account for most of the excess risk of African-Americans to non-diabetic kidney disease and HIV-associated kidney disease in particular. In our studies, we are using genetically modified human kidney cells to perform innovative proteomic, and genomic studies to identify novel mechanisms by APOL1 genetic variants predispose to HIV-induced kidney injury.&nbsp;</p>

Research Focus

<p><span style="color:black;">The primary focus of Dr. Ross' research is to identify mechanisms by which HIV and immune dysregulation cause kidney disease and to identify new approaches to prevent and treat kidney disease. Dr. Ross is also involved in clinical studies to determine mechanisms of diabetic kidney injury and to test the effectiveness of novel treatments for chronic kidney diseases.</span></p>

Biography

<p>Dr. Michael Ross received his MD degree at NYU and completed internal medicine residency training at Duke University, followed by Nephrology Fellowship training at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. While he was on the faculty in the Mount Sinai Division of Nephrology from 2001-17, he served as Nephrology Fellowship Program Director from 2004-2015. He became Chief of Nephrology at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center from 2014-2017, where he helped establish the only VA Kidney Transplant Program in the northeastern US. Dr. Ross became Chief of the Division of Nephrology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center in 2017 where he is currently Chief of Nephrology and Professor of Medicine and Developmental and Molecular Biology.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Ross has served in several national/international leadership roles for the American Society of Nephrology and other organizations, served as Deputy Editor of Kidney International, and is currently Nephrology Section Editor of the American College of Physicians Medical Knowledge and Self-Assessment Program. Dr. Ross was also the recipient of the 2021 American Society of Nephrology Distinguished Leader Award. The major focus of Dr. Ross&rsquo; research program is to identify novel mechanisms of HIV-induced kidney diseases and other forms of kidney injury. He is also site principal investigator of clinical and translational research studies of diabetic kidney disease and other kidney diseases.&nbsp;<br /></p>

Professional Interests

<p>Dr. Sofiya Milman is Professor of Medicine and of Genetics, Interim Vice-Chair for Research in the Department of Medicine, and Director of Human Longevity Studies at Einstein’s Institute for Aging Research. Dr. Milman&rsquo;s research focuses on a unique population of centenarians and their families who are generally free of age-related diseases. Healthy longevity runs in most of these families, suggesting a heritable basis for this phenomenon.&nbsp;Dr. Milman's team conducts translational research focused on the discovery of genomic mechanisms that regulate endocrine and metabolic pathways that protect against common age-related diseases, like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many of the discovered longevity genes and phenotypes are related to hormonal pathways. Changes in most hormones are observed throughout the human lifespan, but it remains unknown whether the observed changes cause aging, are associated with age but are not the cause of aging, or are protective for the aging body. Identification of protective endocrine parameters will inform our understanding of the mechanisms of healthy aging and lead to the discovery of interventions that protect from age-related diseases.</p>
<p>A biological pathway that has been repeatedly implicated in aging is the somatotropic axis that involves signaling via growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). &nbsp;Substantial evidence exists that diminished signaling via this pathway delays aging, resulting in longer lifespan and health-span, not only in animal models, but also in humans. In fact, Dr. Milman's research demonstrated that&nbsp;lower IGF-I levels were associated with longer survival and better cognition in humans with exceptional longevity and provided evidence against supplementing older adults with growth hormone in an attempt to delay aging. Dr. Milman's team uses computational approaches to integrade genetic information, such as whole-exome sequencing, with rich phenotype data in families with inherited longevity to understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms that lead to protective effects of low IGF-I.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dr. Michal Melamed is a Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology &amp; Population Health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She has been the Nephrology Fellowship Program Director since 2012. After completing her undergraduate degree in Dramatic Literature at New York University <em>summa cum laude</em>, she trained at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine for medical school, Internal Medicine residency, and Nephrology fellowship. Additionally, she completed a Masters in Clinical Epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health during her fellowship.</p>
<p>She has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health since 2007 and her research interests include the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease and its complications, the epidemiology and health consequences of Vitamin D deficiency and metabolic acidosis. Dr. Melamed is the Principal Investigator of several NIH-funded research studies.&nbsp; She has published over 90 original publications in the medical literature and has mentored countless young investigators from high school students to junior faculty members. In 2019, she won the Distinguished Mentor Award from the American Society of Nephrology.</p>
