Rick Grimm received his PhD in 2009 from the Department of Cellular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He is now an Assistant Professor in The Nephrology Division at Johns Hopkins University. Dr Grimm’s research is focused on elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying renal dysfunction with an interest in the association between renal transport and hypertension, diuretic resistance, nephron remodeling, and hypertension associated nephropathy. Dr Grimm employs a variety of experimental techniques ranging from molecular biology, large data-set analysis, and whole animal physiology.
