SAN DIEGO — The American Society of Nephrology will present the 2018 President’s Medal to Griffin P. Rodgers, MD, MACP, in recognition of his leadership in kidney research and advocacy.

Rodgers has served as director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Kidney Diseases since 2007, a role in which he provides scientific leadership and oversees a staff of more than 600 employees. He is also recognized for his contributions to the development of hydroxyurea.

“At NIDDK, our goal is to improve people’s lives through research to understand, prevent and treat kidney diseases and many other consequential and costly conditions,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers will receive the award on Oct. 27 during ASN Kidney Week.
