💼 Occupation

Shuchi Anand is an Indian-American nephrologist and clinical researcher investigating chronic kidney disease, tubulointerstitial disease, and global health. She the director of the Stanford Center for Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease and an assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford University Medical Center. In 2020, Anand led a study that received widespread attention due to its estimate of COVID-19 infections in the United States, including the racial and economic disparities in infection rates.

Early life and education[edit]

Shuchi Anand was born in India and moved to the United States with her family at age 12. After observing disparities in healthcare on a visit back to India, Anand became interested in medicine.[1] She completed a medical degree at Washington University School of Medicine in 2006 and internal medicine training at the Brigham and Women's Hospital with Partners HealthCare and Harvard Medical School. She completed a master of science in clinical epidemiology and a nephrology fellowship at Stanford University School of Medicine.[2][3]

Career[edit]

Anand is the Director of the Stanford Center for Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease[4] and an assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford University Medical Center.[3] Her clinical research areas include nephrology and tubulointerstitial disease, including a focus on patients in low-resource areas.[3][4] Her projects include collaborations with the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Emory University for the promotion of exercise programming for underserved populations, as well as the Center for Chronic Disease Control in India for the study of risk factors for kidney disease in South Asians, and the Kandy Hospital Sri Lanka for the investigation of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology affecting agricultural communities.[5]

In 2012-2013, she was a Fogarty fellow, which allowed her to travel to India for a fellowship at the Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) to study chronic kidney disease (CKD) with her mentor, director Dr. Dorairaj Prabhakaran [Wikidata].[6] Her work included the Center for Cardiometabolic Risk Reduction in South Asia (CARRS) Surveillance Study, both intervewing subjects and analyzing data, and ultimately writing a 2015 paper as the lead author.[6]

After the Fogarty fellowship, Anand won an NIH career development grant to expand her work in India. Anand conducted mentored research on CKD in South Asians and found while the prevalence of CKD in urban India is similar to Indians who emigrated to the U.S., people in India are more likely to have worse outcomes.[6] Anand has studied 'chronic kidney disease of unknown cause or uncertain etiology' (CDKU) in India, Sri Lanka, and California.[7][8][9] In 2020, Anand won a Global Health Seed Grant from Stanford Global Health, to support research into whether natural farming in India supports kidney health.[10] In 2020, Anand also won a Diversity Chair Investigator Award to support her research, Kidney Disease in California’s Central Valley: Investigating the Disproportionate Risk in Agricultural Communities.[11]

In 2020, as director of the Stanford Center for Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease, Anand was the lead author in a study published on September 25 in The Lancet that was the largest study at the time to measure COVID-19 antibody levels in the US.[12][13][14] Imperial College London professors Barnaby Flower and Christina Atchison wrote in an editorial published with the study that "Anand and colleagues deserve credit for pioneering a scalable sampling strategy that offers a blueprint for standardised national serosurveillance in the USA and other countries with a large haemodialysing population."[15] The research also uncovered racial and economic disparities in populations with COVID-19 antibodies,[16][17] highlighted the need for public health intervention to address the disparities,[18][19] and was described by epidemiologist Stephen Morse of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University as important public health data, due to a lack of "reliable national data" when the study was published.[20] The study was published at a time when according to Newsweek, "Some U.S. officials have floated the concept of herd immunity as a possible strategy to manage the national outbreak,"[21] and according to Anand, "this study does not support that there is herd immunity."[22] For this work, Anand was named a Finalist in the 2021 Clinical Research Forum Top 10 Clinical Research Achievement Awards.[23] At the time of the publication of the study, Anand announced the intentions of researchers to continue monitoring study participants for months to help determine the effectiveness of COVID-19 mitigation tactics.[21][16][20]
