Prof. Dr. Jaime Uribarri Appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of Section “Clinical Nutrition” in Nutrients
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. Jaime Uribarri has been appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of the “Clinical Nutrition” Section in Nutrients (ISSN: 2072-6643).
Name: Prof. Dr. Jaime Uribarri
Homepage: http://www.mountsinai.org/profiles/jaime-uribarri
Affiliation: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY 10029, USA
Interests: diabetes; chronic kidney disease; dietary advanced glycation end products; dietary phosphorus; acid-base metabolism
Prof. Dr. Jaime Uribarri is a practicing nephrologist and clinical investigator in NYC. He was born in Chile and received his medical degree from the University of Chile School of Medicine. He did all his postgraduate training in the United States. He has been in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NYC, since 1990, where he is currently Professor of Medicine and Director of the Renal Clinic and the Home Dialysis Program at the Mount Sinai Hospital.
In parallel with his clinical activities, Prof. Dr. Uribarri has been very active in clinical investigation for more than 40 years. His main areas of research have included acid-base, fluids, electrolyte disorders and nutrition in chronic kidney disease and diabetic patients (particularly in the fields of dietary phosphorus and dietary advanced glycation end products or AGEs). He has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers and written many chapters in books. He has lectured extensively on these research topics at local, national and international meetings.
He has edited a book on dietary AGEs and co-edited a book on dietary phosphorus published by the CRC Press. He serves as an ad hoc referee for numerous nutrition, medical and other scientific journals and he is an active member of several health organizations and professional associations including the American Society of Nephrology and the American Society of Nutrition.
The following is a short Q&A with Prof. Dr. Jaime Uribarri, who shared his vision for the journal and his views on the research area and Open Access publishing:
1. What appealed to you about the journal and encouraged you to become its Section Editor-in-Chief?
Nutrition is and will remain the focus of my research activities and is central to the strategies I apply in the care of my patients. In the USA, the main cause of chronic kidney disease is by far Diabetes type 2 and the main cause of death in these patients is cardiovascular disease, all of which result mostly from lifestyles, particularly unhealthy nutrition. Therefore, it is impossible to be involved in clinical practice and ignore the important contribution that nutrition has in the initiation and progression of these chronic diseases, on top and beyond the use of medications. I believe that Nutrients as a journal, and especially the “Clinical Nutrition” Section, lends itself very well to connect the field of nutrition with the practice of medicine, which is a very important goal for me.
2. What is your vision for Nutrients?
I would like to see the “Clinical Nutrition” Section growing and contributing significantly to strengthen the connection between nutrition and medicine in general, which I believe is badly needed. I would like the journal to become a point of knowledge translation that will help to disseminate new knowledge in nutrition to clinicians in the form of reviews and perspectives that could be easily understood.
3. What does the future of this field of research look like?
The field of clinical nutrition is a growing one and I expect this situation to continue in the near future. The increasing prevalence of chronic non-transmissible diseases in the Western world, due in part to unhealthy nutrition, combined with diseases of malnutrition in the developing world, makes this field of research particularly important.
We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Jaime Uribarri as the new Section Editor-in-Chief and we look forward to him leading Nutrients to reach many more milestones.
