Jinhee Jeong
Instructor – Renal Medicine What is your professional background?
I received my PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I was involved in clinical interventions aiming to improve cardiovascular and physical health in patients with kidney failure. I joined Emory School of Medicine in 2019 as a staff scientist after completing postdoctoral training at Augusta University. In what division do you work, and who is your mentor?
I work in the Division of Renal Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Jeanie Park. Her guidance and support have been tremendous for my professional growth at Emory. Briefly describe your research. Why is it important?
My research foci are neurovascular mechanisms of increased cardiovascular risk and physical functional impairment in patients with chronic kidney disease. My recent KL2-funded project combines a wide range of expertise including autonomic physiology, kidney imaging (ultrasound and MRI), and geriatrics from a multidisciplinary mentoring team and aims to identify neurovascular pathways contributing to accelerated kidney damage and frailty in older chronic kidney disease patients. This line of research can provide the foundation for the development of targeted treatments to improve the long-term management of kidney disease in the elderly. What do you like most about
Emory?
Emory has very supportive and resourceful career development programs, as well as an extensive collaborative environment across the School of Medicine. What is your favorite movie or TV show?
I like to watch feel-good movies and TV series, such as Fatherhood, that don’t have any violent scenes. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and jogging as well as indoor strength training with my sports-loving husband. I also love to spend time relaxing at home listening to podcasts or organizing a shelf at a time. What is a fun fact about you?
My first job out of college was teaching math to middle and high-schoolers at a local afterschool program in Korea.
