Marc B. Lande, M.D., M.P.H. serves as Professor (Part-Time) in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Nephrology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. He co-directs the Pediatric Hypertension and Lipid Clinic and represents Pediatric Nephrology on the URMC Solid Organ Transplant Program, with clinical expertise spanning General Nephrology, Dialysis, Renal Transplant, and ICU Nephrology.
His educational background includes:
- MD from University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine (1986)
- Pediatrics Internship at University of Rochester Medical Center (1986-1987)
- Pediatrics Residency at University of Rochester Medical Center (1987-1989)
- Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital (1991-1994)
Dr. Lande's research centers on neurocognitive effects of hypertension in children and chronic kidney disease outcomes. His NIH-funded multicenter team investigates how hypertension affects developing organs and whether antihypertensive therapy improves cognition. He examines cerebrovascular reactivity, sleep disorders, and quality-of-life impacts through innovative longitudinal studies.
His 15 most recent publications (2013-2017) reveal a dominant focus on hypertension-neurocognition links in pediatric populations, with significant contributions to understanding blood pressure variability, chronic kidney disease complications, and genetic hypertension mechanisms. This work spans clinical trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews.
Key awards include:
- Visiting Professor of Pediatric Nephrology at Emory (2017)
- Society for Pediatric Research Election (2008)
- ACC/Pfizer Visiting Professor in Cardiovascular Medicine (2006)
- Multiple Rose Awards and research honors
As site PI for the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Study (CKiD) and SHIP AHOY networks, Dr. Lande leads multidisciplinary teams across five institutions. His grant portfolio emphasizes neurocognitive subcommittees and steering committee leadership in major pediatric hypertension initiatives. The Pediatric Hypertension and Lipid Clinic serves as his primary clinical research platform, integrating neuropsychological assessments with renal care.
