Dr. Hala Alshayeb

My career goal is to anchor my practice and academic inquiry in a solid foundation that encompasses the the science and technical practice of transplantation while maintaining a personal connection with the patients I manage. Academia is my chosen path because it fosters a continuous exchange of ideas as well as interaction among colleagues enabling me to contribute and keep up to date with new advances in medicine. It is a good fit because it strengthens my interests in combining clinical research with advances in basic research, and clinical experience. As well it gives me the opportunity to teach students, residents, and fellows, something I enjoy immensely. My research interests have been mainly focused on issues related to post-transplant bone disease. More specifically I have explored changes in the FGF-23- PTH-25(OH)D access in both pre-transplant and post-transplant periods. I have published research manuscripts, book chapters, and review articles on post-transplant bone disease under the supervision and direction of my mentors. In addition to presenting the research data at national meetings like ASN and NKF. I am looking forward to joining an academic institution that will allow me to strengthen and support my research interests in this area. Over the next few years my career goal will be focused on continuing my study of both pre and post kidney transplant CKD-MBD and establishing a CKD-MBD and bone health clinic. The ultimate goal would be to identify fundable research questions, write research proposals and articles, collect and analyze data, and manage multiple projects as my career progresses.
