Associate Professor of Medicine Patient Care Emphases (Ages 18+): Kidney stones. Research interest is focused primarily on kidney stone disease. This research involves characterizing the influence of specific urinary macromolecules on crystallization kinetics, and expanding it to parallel programs in patient based studies of specific inhibitory defects exhibited by urinary macromolecules from stone formers and in basic science studies of the specific chemical groups responsible for critical interactions at calcium oxalate crystal surfaces. He has helped focus the clinical care of stone disease through the opening of a clinic specifically targeted at stone forming patients. Degrees: BS - University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 1972-1976 PhD - University of Wisconsin, Madison, Madison, WI 1980-1983 MD - Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 1990-1994 Residency: Internship - Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI Internal Medicine - Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 1994-1997 Fellowship: Nephrology - Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 1997-1999
