Dr. Sho Hasegawa is an assistant professor at Kyoto University, working on unraveling the mechanism of kidney disease progression. He obtained his MD from the University of Tokyo in 2012. After working as a physician for five years, he received scientific training 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 (Kidney Int 2019, selected as ISN-KI Early Career Researcher Award). He also studied the effects of HIF-PH inhibitors on renal energy metabolism in the course of diabetic kidney disease (Kidney Int 2020), the role of macrophage sympathetic signaling in acute kidney injury (JASN 2021) and the role of organelle crosstalk in podocyte lipotoxicity (JCI Insight 2024). His current research at Kyoto University focuses on the mechanism of kidney diseases in elderly people.
