Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Marc Weinberg discuss the following:

• Can you tell us about your background, your education and how you decided to enter the field of Nephrology?
• What is a typical work day like for you?
• How have some of the common procedures in the field of nephrology evolved since you first became a doctor?
• Can you discuss any cutting edge techniques that are surfacing?

Duration: 25:34

Dr. Weinberg holds an M.D. degree from Boston University School of Medicine. He was an intern in Internal Medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, completed a residency in Internal Medicine in the Tufts- New England Medical Center, and a fellowship in Nephrology at Boston University Medical Center.

Dr. Weinberg is Board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology.

After serving a career in academic medicine and research in the basic sciences, he was founder of Hypertension & Nephrology, Inc., where he was managing partner since 1986.  He served as Chief Clinical Operating Officer and national Director of Clinical Research for DSI Renal, Inc.

He is Clinical Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Brown University Division of Biology and Medicine.

Dr. Weinberg is an expert in the Kallikrein-Kininogen-Kinin System which plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure and tissue blood flow, salt and water balance, and atherosclerosis.  Dr. Weinberg was the first investigator to publish the use of supramaximal doses of new antihypertensive agents (Angiotensin Receptor Blockers) to reduce proteinuria, as a treatment to preserve kidney function in subjects with protein leakage in the kidney.  His theories have been confirmed internationally by Multicenter prospective trials in the USA and Canada, as well as investigations in Eastern, Western Europe and Japan.

He has lectured internationally in countries such as India, Japan, and Israel, throughout Eastern and Western Europe, and North America.  He serves as Chief of Nephrology at the Roger Williams Medical Center, a Boston University Affiliated Hospital, in Providence, RI.  For nearly fifteen years, he served on the Board of Directors of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island, and was Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the PPAC Committee most recently until his retirement in May, 2006.  He is a past president of the American Heart Association, Rhode Island Affiliate, and of the National Kidney Foundation, Rhode Island affiliate. Dr Weinberg is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, American Society of Nephrology and American Heart Association.

As Principal Investigator of numerous clinical trials for drugs related to the treatment of Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Diabetes, Renal bone disease and anemia, he has almost 100 publications. In 2004, Dr. Weinberg was Inducted into the Collegium and Academy of Distinguished Alumni of the Boston University College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Currently, Dr. Weinberg developed a Vascular Biology Disease Prevention Program focusing on Reduction of Urinary Proteinuria and Regression of Aortic Aneurysms using maximal blockade of the Renin Angiotensin System with supramaximal doses of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers.

Furthermore, he is Chief of a Heart Attack, Stroke and Diabetes Prevention Method as a novel technique to thwart vascular end organ diseases utilizing investigation of genetics, inflammatory plasma mediators, lipid electrophoresis for particle size and density analysis, and insulin resistance.  His therapeutic modalities span innovative applications of combination pharmacologic and pulse electromagnetic therapies.

Lastly, because of his interest and commitment in the research and development of biochemical and immunological systems which play a role in regulation of blood pressure, vascular inflammation, peripheral vascular and kidney diseases, he joined CellHealth Institute (also Life Sciences Institute) of Montclair, New Jersey and Costa Rica as a Clinical Support Officer. The focus of this start up Biotechnology company is to develop optimal practices in Anti-Aging Medicine and Age Management solutions for physicians. Aging and regenerative medicine is a logical progression of Dr Weinberg’s vascular disease prevention program, adding bio technology for Improving DNA repair, decreasing DNA damage and utilizing stem cell therapy for chronic diseases.
