Biography Jyothsna Gattineni, M.D., earned her medical degree from Stanley Medical College and Hospital in Chennai, India. She subsequently completed residencies in pediatrics in the United Kingdom and at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. Dr. Gattineni then completed a pediatric nephrology fellowship at UT Southwestern/Children’s Medical Center. Dr. Gattineni practices at UT Southwestern and Children’s Health and serves as Chief of Pediatric Nephrology at both institutions. One of the largest pediatric nephrology programs nationwide, UT Southwestern’s Division of Pediatric Nephrology is the main provider of clinical and testing services for children with kidney disease, bone disease, and hypertension at Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Children’s Medical Center Plano. As an NIH-funded physician-scientist, Dr. Gattineni aims to better understand kidney disease and open the door to new treatments. Her research focuses on understanding the fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) hormone and how it impacts patients with chronic kidney disease. Her lab has characterized the receptors for this hormone, and in doing so, generated a mouse model with a 25- to 50-fold increase in FGF23 levels. Dr. Gattineni is using this model to determine if elevated FGF23 contributes to the bone, vascular, and cardiac disease seen in patients with chronic kidney disease.
