Summary

  • I am an internist, nephrologist, and clinical hypertension specialist. After graduating from medical school in Brazil, I trained in Internal Medicine at the University of Connecticut and in Nephrology at Yale. I joined the faculty at Yale in 1998 and I am currently Professor of Medicine, Vice Chair for Quality and Safety (Department of Internal Medicine), and Clinical Chief of the Section of Nephrology. I am an active clinician in consultative nephrology and hypertension. My most distinctive expertise is in resistant hypertension, secondary hypertension, and cardiovascular dysautonomia. As an administrator, I am responsible for the clinical operations of the section of Nephrology and for quality and safety measures and initiatives in the Department of Medicine. As an educator, I teach Yale medical students, Internal Medicine residents and Nephrology fellows in both the inpatient and outpatient settings and have received several teaching awards from the department, the medical school and outside entities. As a researcher, my interests have centered on the interplay between hypertension, kidney disease and vascular disease, with a focus on the study of systemic hemodynamics, arterial mechanics, acute severe hypertension, and BP measurement/monitoring in hypertension, CKD and ESRD. I have led a large number of my own original studies, have been the site principal investigator for several multicenter trials, and have served as co-investigator in projects of many colleagues from Yale and elsewhere. I am a member of the editorial boards of the American Journal of Nephrology, Kidney International, Blood Pressure Monitoring and the Brazilian Journal of Nephrology. I enjoy travelling, playing the guitar, and golfing. I live in Hamden, CT with my wife and two children.
