Dr. Bhupesh Panwar is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). He is a board certified nephrologist and a clinical researcher at UAB. Dr. Panwar completed his MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India (07/1999 - 12/2004). He obtained his MD from Harbor Hospital, Baltimore (06/2007 - 06/2010). His long-term goal is to focus on patient-oriented research in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The focus of his research is on etiologic factors underlying disturbances of iron metabolism in CKD. This focus grew out of the increasing recognition that abnormalities of iron and mineral metabolism are highly prevalent among individuals with CKD. Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D can enhance iron bioavailability in healthy volunteers but this effect has not been adequately studied in individuals with CKD.

Dr. Bhupesh Panwar research interests include intricacies of iron metabolism with a special focus on individuals with chronic kidney disease. Connections between vitamin D and iron metabolism in chronic kidney disease. Novel regulators of iron homeostasis - hepcidin C and hemojuvelin; Relationship between obesity and metabolic health and their joint and individual effects on the development of kidney disease; Link between markers of mineral metabolism such as vitamin D and FGF-23 levels and cardiovascular morbidity especially stroke.
