Biography

John Bertram is a Professor at Monash University and a leading figure in kidney research. He specializes in the quantitative pathology of the kidney, particularly in the counting of nephrons and glomeruli, which are critical indicators of kidney health. His pioneering work has positioned Monash University as a world leader in this field, with significant collaborations both nationally and internationally. Bertram's research has revealed that the number of glomeruli in a human kidney is highly variable and directly correlates with risks for chronic diseases such as hypertension and kidney disease. His team has conducted extensive studies involving thousands of kidney samples from various populations, and they focus on the environmental and genetic factors influencing kidney development. With ongoing projects backed by major research councils, Bertram is dedicated to advancing our understanding of kidney disease and improving health outcomes, particularly within Indigenous communities. He employs cutting-edge techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging, to enhance research capabilities and outcomes.
