Dr. Beamish’s career in Nephrology was inspired by the remarkable ability of some patients to recover after severe kidney injury. The strongest motivator for his research is finding treatments that encourage recovery in more patients. The broad goal of Dr. Beamish’s laboratory is to discover new strategies to promote kidney regeneration using an approach that integrates both engineering and biological tools. Dr. Beamish completed a BS and PhD in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, respectively, as well as clinical training in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. His expertise spans many disciplines, including biomaterials engineering, animal models of kidney injury and physiology, analysis of multimodal sequencing data, deep-learning image analysis, and the genetics and molecular biology of transcriptional regulation in kidney cells. His work has been supported by the American Heart Association, the American Society of Nephrology, and the NIH. In addition to his research activities, Dr. Beamish also directs the outpatient nephrology clinics at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.
