Biography

Fredric L. Coe, MD is a physician-scientist at the University of Chicago, focusing on kidney disease, particularly kidney stones and their prevention. His work integrates clinical care and mechanistic investigation, emphasizing real-world impact. Coe has developed a public education platform for kidney stone prevention and has published extensively on renal mineral handling and the long-term consequences of recurrent nephrolithiasis. He sees patients with complex stone-forming disorders and collaborates in an interdisciplinary setting with urology, nutrition, dietetics, and radiology to create individualized prevention plans. His research laboratory investigates fundamental questions surrounding kidney stone formation and recurrence, employing physiology, imaging, and epidemiology to derive novel insights. Coe’s contributions have influenced dietary, pharmacologic, and behavioral paradigms for preventing kidney stones, and he is actively involved in national nephrolithiasis efforts, including guidelines and educational peer review. He mentors nephrology fellows and post-doctoral scientists, aiming to cultivate the next generation of investigators in stone disease and mineral metabolism.
