Rafael Kramann, MD, PhD, FASN
Rafael Kramann is Professor of Medicine and Chair of Nephro-Cardiology at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. He directs the Laboratory of Translational Kidney and Cardiovascular Research in the Department of Nephrology (www.kramannlab.com) at RWTH Aachen University and Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, NL and is board certified physician for internal medicine and nephrology. He received his MD in cardiology at RWTH Aachen University in 2007, postdoctoral training at Brigham and Women´s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston MA from 2012 to 2015 and a PhD at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands in 2019.
His basic and translational research focusses on understanding cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease patients and organ fibrosis. He integrates state of the art genetic fate tracing, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, single cells omic and systems biology technologies together with clinical datasets to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop targeted therapeutics for patients with organ fibrosis, vascular sclerosis and heart failure. His clinical research interests are focusing on biomarker discovery in fibrosis , novel treatment strategies in vascular calcification and early diagnosis of uremic cardiomyopathy. He has authored more than 75 primary research and review articles and he is recipient of various prestigous awards including the Grand Prize in the Harvard Innovation Lab Dean´s Health and Lifescience Challenge 2013 the Stanley Shaldon Award of the European Renal Association (ERA-EDTA) 2014, a European Research Council Starting Grant 2015, the Nils Alwall Award 2014 and Carl Ludwig Award 2015 of the German Society of Nephrology, the Bernd Tersteegen Award 2015 of the German Dialysis Association, the Desiderius Award of the Erasmus University in 2018 and the Franz Volhard Award 2019 of the German Society of Nephrology. He is coordinator of the ERA-CVD NET MEND-AGE and PI at the British Heart Foundation Center of Excellence at the University of Edinburgh, UK where he holds a honorary Professorship.
