About
Raymond C. Harris is a leading nephrologist whose research has fundamentally advanced our understanding of kidney disease, particularly diabetic nephropathy and acute kidney injury. His work has been cited over 116,000 times, reflecting his profound impact on the field. Harris is best known for elucidating the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in kidney repair and fibrosis, demonstrating that while EGFR activation is essential for recovery after acute injury, its sustained activation drives maladaptive repair and chronic kidney disease. He also pioneered studies on lipid metabolism in diabetic nephropathy, showing that alterations in glomerular and tubule lipid profiles contribute to disease progression. As a long-time editor of the *Journal of Clinical Investigation* and recipient of the Homer W. Smith Award from the American Society of Nephrology, Harris has shaped both research and clinical practice. His work has opened new therapeutic avenues, including targeting EGFR signaling and lipid pathways to prevent kidney failure in diabetes.
