Wenjun Ju University Of Michigan Medical CenterUnited States

Wenjun Ju is a Research Scientist in the Department of Medicine and Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan. Dr. Ju has a track record leading discovery of molecular mechanism-based targets and disease biomarkers using integrative multi-Omics (big data) strategy on kidney biopsies and biofluids of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These biomarkers can serve as critical tools for molecular diagnosis and prognosis of CKD, as well as for predicting patients’ treatment response to cardio-renal protective drugs. In addition, Dr. Ju is actively involved in multiple international biomarker consortiums, including Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE), Biomarker Enterprise to Attack Diabetic Kidney disease (BEAt-DKD), and “Personalized Drug Response: Implementation And Evaluation In CKD (PRIME-CKD).”Dr. Ju and her colleagues seek to translate their discoveries from bench to bedside to deliver precision kidney medicine to patients and improve their kidney outcomes for patients with CKD worldwide.
