Biography

Dr. Lavin is Consultant Nephrologist and General Internal Medicine Physician in Tallaght University Hospital. He is also a Clinical Senior Lecturer in Clinical Medicine in Trinity College Dublin. He graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1998. He continued postgraduate training in Ireland in Internal Medicine and Nephrology, before completing a Nephrology Fellowship in Duke University Medical Center, NC, USA. He also worked in the Duke University Center for Human Genetics (2006-2011) where he researched autosomal dominant hereditary kidney disease (FSGS, C3 glomerulopathy and Interstitial Nephritis) using molecular genetics techniques. He returned to Ireland to practice as a Nephrologist at Tallaght Hospital in 2011 where his clinical interests are Familial Kidney Disease, Diabetic Kidney Disease, Glomerular Kidney Disease, C3 Glomerulopathy, Acute Kidney Injury and Intensive Care Nephrology.
