Xuefei Tian

Dr. Xuefei Tian is a Research Scientist in Nephrology at Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Ishibe Lab. He holds an MD from Tong Ji Medical University and a PhD from Peking Union Medical College. His clinical training includes residency and nephrology fellowship at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Nephrology (FASN) and certified by ECFMG. His research focuses on podocyte biology, proteinuric glomerular diseases, and kidney pathology mechanisms. Recent work explores podocyte cytoskeletal regulation, glomerular injury pathways, and therapeutic strategies for conditions like lupus nephritis and sepsis-associated AKI.

Publications span mechanistic studies (e.g., GIT ArfGAP2's role in podocytes) to clinical case analyses (e.g., belimumab efficacy in lupus nephritis). Over 70 peer-reviewed articles highlight his contributions to nephrology. Awards include FASN (2010) and ECFMG certification (2015). Collaborations with experts like Shuta Ishibe and David Calderwood drive interdisciplinary research. His work bridges basic science (cell signaling, molecular biology) and clinical nephrology, addressing unmet needs in kidney disease treatment and diagnostics.
