UVA Division of Nephrology, part of the Department of Medicine, is dedicated to the study and treatment of kidney disorders and diseases. The division, together with the Center for Immunity, Inflammation and Regenerative Medicine, is composed of nephrologists and other healthcare providers, researchers, and trainees. We are working collaboratively to improve patient care and outcomes, achieve excellence in our scholarly and research endeavors, and nurture innovation in our labs and classrooms.
As a division, we are committed to building bridges with our local community of Charlottesville and throughout the state of Virginia.
Unexpected Link Found Between Immune Cells, Weight Control, Disease Resistance
New research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine has shown how our DNA determines our ability to fight off viruses, revealing that many genes work together to control immune cells, tissue inflammation, even our body weight after infection. The research could one day allow doctors to tweak immune cells to enhance their ability to destroy viruses, and it may also assist in the development of new vaccines, among other benefits.
