Richard A. Dick Zager MD

Dr. Richard A. Dick Zager, MD is a Senior Vice President at the Renibus Therapeutics. Zager is an expert in kidney injury. Kidney damage is a serious side effect of certain therapies, including some cancer chemotherapies. Dr. Zager identifies the mechanisms by which kidney cells protect themselves from injury and what happens to kidney cells as a result of such damage. He translates his laboratory findings into new approaches to help patients. For example, he developed a drug combination designed to prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. He also investigates potential strategies to prevent chronic kidney disease in people who have experienced kidney injury.
