Amy Steele, MD-candidate
Amy Steele is currently a medical student at UC Davis. She played an instrumental role in the development of the Center for Adrenal Disorders Tissue Repository and conducted research projects focused on adrenal neoplasia and hormone dysfunction.
Jasmine Torrey
Jasmine was an intern in our research group and helped conduct projects related to the diagnostic sensitivity of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio when influenced by dietary salt variability.
Kiara Taquechel
Kiara Taquechel worked in the lab during her co-ops as a Cell and Molecular Biology major at Northeastern University.
Sarah Zaheer, MD
Dr. Zaheer worked in the lab as an endocrine fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Her research focused on interactions between the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and parathyroid hormone.
Jessica Newfield
Jessica Newfield was senior research coordinator for the Vaidya Lab. She oversaw a large research project portfolio that included our clinical trials, human physiology studies, biospecimen registries, and prospective cohorts.
Gregory Hundemer, MD, MPH
Dr. Hundemer is a nephrologist at University of Ottawa. He worked in the lab while conducting his post-doctoral fellowship in aldosterone physiology and primary aldosteronism. His research includes physiology studies investigating subclinical primary aldosteronism and outcomes studies evaluating medical therapies for primary aldosteronism.
Miguel-Angel Luque Fernandez, PhD, MPH
Dr. Luque Fernandez is the chief epidemiologist and statistician in our lab. He received his Ph.D. in Preventive Medicine (Epidemiology) and Public Health from the University of Granada (UGR, Spain) and the ULB (Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium). He also has an MSc in Biostatistics from the University of Newcastle, Australia, an MSc in Epidemiology from the ULB and an MPH from the UGR. He has also worked at the Center for Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Research (University of Cape Town). He currently works at the Harvard School of Public Health and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Meng Cathy Hao, MD
Dr. Hao is a Harvard Medical Student who spent two years during medical school working in the Vaidya lab. She developed a large cohort of incidentally discovered adrenal tumors and her studies focus on the risk factors for developing adrenal neoplasia and the cardiometabolic consequences that may develop once they occur.
Kathleen Marion, NP
Kalie is a nurse practitioner who oversees our adrenal research program, including study participants and research coordinators. She also has expertise in managing clinical patients with adrenal disorders.
