Members of the Center have helped organize and run The Columbia Renal Biopsy Course, attended by over 300 physicians annually, and a highly successful one-day Annual Update of Glomerular Diseases. In the last year alone, members of the Glomerular Center contributed to the publications of over 25 manuscripts many in the most influential kidney journals.

Currently, our physicians treat over 3000 patients each year. We are deeply committed to research with 10-15 clinical trials ongoing at a given time, to find newer and more effective treatments for our patients with rare diseases.
