Research Interests
Dr. Patricio Ray, MD, is a professor of Pediatrics at the George Washington University and the director of the Renal Research Program at Children’s National Medical Center. He earned his medical degree at the University of Buenos Aires Aires, Argentina, and was a pediatric resident and chief resident at the Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutierrez in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1981-1984). His clinical training in pediatric nephrology was done at the University of California San Francisco (1985-1987). Dr. Ray is board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Nephrology, and has been working at Children’s National Medical Center since 1987. Subsequently, while on the Faculty at Children’s, he performed research and worked as a visiting scientist at the National Institutes of Health from 1989 to 1993. In 1993, Dr. Ray established one of the first renal research programs in the country to study the pathogenesis of HIV-associated renal diseases at Children’s National Medical Center. This program, which has received funding from NIH since 1993, has trained many fellows, junior faculty, and has made many significant contributions to understand how HIV-1 induces renal injury in children. In addition, Dr. Ray’s laboratory is investigating the role of heparin binding growth factors and the renin angiotensin system in the pathogenesis of other pediatric renal diseases. His laboratory has generated several new animal model systems to study the pathogenesis of pediatric renal diseases, and has made important contributions to understand the pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome, hypertension, and fluids-electrolyte disorders in children. He has published more than 70 original peer-reviewed publications in excellent scientific journals, as well as several review articles and abstracts.
