Members are also committed to mentoring future generations of physician-scientists.

Dr. Mallipattu is only the 19th Stony Brook University faculty member elected to the ASCI, and the first since 2015.

Dr. Mallipattu has conducted groundbreaking research on the molecular mechanisms of chronic kidney disease and how these mechanisms catalyze the disease’s development and progression. He and colleagues have uncovered new details about kidney regulation and function, and advanced the science behind kidney regeneration.

The Society’s New Member Induction Ceremony will take place in Chicago as part of a meeting in collaboration with the Association of American Physicians (AAP) and the American Physician Scientists Association (APSA).
