Dr. Benjamin Spector is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He specializes in pediatric nephrology and has a keen interest in the management of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), dialysis, and transplant. His clinical experiences emphasize the diagnostic work-up of glomerulonephritis and acute kidney injury while providing acute kidney replacement therapy in inpatient settings. In outpatient care, he is dedicated to optimizing the management of CKD patients. Spector's research focuses on the study of methylation signatures in circulating DNA from plasma and urine of kidney transplant patients. His work aims to compare methylation patterns in different pathophysiologic states, such as rejection vs. non-rejection, to elucidate biological pathways contributing to disease pathogenesis. Through his research, he seeks to identify targets for intervention that can promote allograft health and improve patient outcomes.
