KIRKMANDepartment of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, United StatesFigure 1.Danielle KirkmanDownload figureDownload PowerPointDanielle Kirkman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University. She received her PhD in Clinical Exercise Physiology from Bangor University in Wales before completing her postdoctoral fellowship in vascular physiology at the University of Delaware. Her research is focused on applied, integrative physiology at the nexus of cardiovascular and renal health. As an exercise physiologist by training, a large body of her work has investigated the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of exercise in patients across the spectrum of kidney diseases. In her spare time, she enjoys the outdoors [Photo: Fig. 1].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00046.2023FERNANDO MARMOLNorthwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, United StatesFigure 2.Fernando MarmolDownload figureDownload PowerPointFernando Marmol is a research scholar at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL, mentored by Dr. Daniel Batlle. He is an International Medical Graduate MD from Ecuador. His research interests focus on acid-base and electrolyte disorders as well as angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and its potential therapeutic use. Like Dr. Batlle, he is a fan of the soccer team Barcelona FC. Away from the laboratory bench, he loves practicing basketball, soccer, and cycling. He is pursuing becoming a nephrologist [Photo: Fig. 2].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00312.2022LINDSEY A. RAMIREZDepartment of Physiology, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, Georgia, United StatesFigure 3.Lindsey RamirezDownload figureDownload PowerPointLindsey Ramirez completed her PhD in Physiology at Augusta University under the mentorship of Jennifer Sullivan. In 2022, she successfully defended with distinction. In her doctoral laboratory, she studied the role of inflammation in mediating high-fat diet-induced changes in adiposity and blood pressure. Currently, she is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Elizabeth Glover at the University of Illinois in Chicago, IL. In her current role, she is investigating the neural mechanisms that mediate aversion to ethanol. She enjoys learning about true crime, collecting rocks, and various crafts such as sewing, knitting, and crocheting [Photo: Fig. 3].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00308.2022YU TAODepartment of Physiology and Anatomy, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Texas, United StatesFigure 4.Yu TaoDownload figureDownload PowerPointYu Tao is a PhD student in the Integrative Physiology Department in the University of North Texas Health Science Center, mentored by Dr. Rong Ma. She got her MS from Wuhan University, China. Her research focused on the podocyte and mesangial cell physiology in diabetic kidney disease. She enjoys cooking, baking, and hiking in her spare time [Photo: Fig. 4].https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00297.2022This article has no references to display.
