Stephen Adler, M.D., joined the Division of Nephrology of New York Medical College in 1986 after spending four years at the University of Washington in Seattle with the noted nephrologist Dr. William G. Couser. Dr. Adler has been active in basic research, clinical trials, division administration, teaching and patient care. He was previously chief of nephrology for Children’s and Women’s Physicians of Westchester, a large faculty practice group on campus. Currently, Dr. Adler oversees the faculty practice and operations of the division as co-chief and participates in the Nephrology Fellowship Program as a faculty member. He has a joint appointment in the Department of Physiology and collaborated with the late Thomas Hintze, Ph.D., former chairman of physiology, on studies of renal NO production in disease and aging.

Dr. Adler serves as a key clinical faculty in the nephrology fellowship program and participates in didactic teaching of fellows in addition to acting as a teaching attending on the inpatient consultative service 7-8 weeks every year. He has done investigative work in immunologic kidney disease, the role of oxidant stress in aging and hypertension and more recently clinical trials involving control of bone/mineral metabolism in dialysis patients and prevention of progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease. He also oversees the research program for the nephrology fellows.
