Sho Hasegawa
ISN-KI Basic and Translational Nephrology Editorial Fellow
Dr. Sho Hasegawa is an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo where he works on kidney disease progression mechanisms. He obtained his MD from the University of Tokyo in 2012. After working as a physician for five years, he received scientific training in the laboratory of Prof. Masaomi Nangaku and obtained his PhD from the University of Tokyo in 2020, where he established a method of whole-kidney 3D imaging and visualized renal sympathetic denervation after ischemia/reperfusion injury. He also studied the effects of HIF stabilizers on renal energy metabolism in the course of diabetic kidney disease. More recently, he clarified that sympathetic signaling in macrophages regulates the severity of acute kidney injury (JASN, 2021).
Dr. Hasegawa has been the recipient of several honors including the 2021 ISN-KI Early Career Research Award for Basic Science, the 2020 Young Investigator Award from the APSN, the 2019 Best Abstracts by young authors from the ERA-EDTA, and the 2019 Keystone Symposia Scholarship.
