    Biography

    Dr. Sherry Mansour grew up and attended medical school in New York. She graduated in 2010 and received the Highest Academic Achievement Award. She was elected valedictorian of her class and was also inducted into the Psi Sigma Alpha National Osteopathic Scholastic Honor Society. She went on to complete residency training in Internal Medicine at Stony Brook University Medical Center, where she was chosen as chief medical resident. She was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, Stony Brook Chapter in 2012. She then joined Yale New Haven Hospital in 2014 as a Clinical Research Nephrology fellow. She also completed her Master of Science from the Yale School of Public Health in 2019 with a focus on Chronic Disease Epidemiology. Since her arrival at Yale, Dr. Mansour has been working on identifying novel repair biomarkers in blood and urine to better predict long-term kidney and heart disease outcomes after AKI, and improve overall patient care. Her K-23 proposal is focused on understanding the role of a vessel repair pathway, known as the Angiopoietin pathway, in graft outcomes after deceased donor kidney transplantation.

    Research

    Overview

    Dr. Sherry Mansour uses translational and epidemiological research methods to characterize the role of repair and vascular biomarkers in the development of long-term kidney and cardiovascular outcomes, with a particular focus on patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).

    Research Focus

    Dr. Mansour's program integrates vascular biology, spatial transcriptomics, and clinical epidemiology to better understand and predict graft failure and cardiovascular disease. Her work spans the mechanisms of vascular repair after kidney injury, the biology underlying cardiovascular disease development in transplant recipients, and the real-world application of cardiovascular disease prevention strategies in this high-risk population.
