Overview

Dr. Jinhee Jeong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, Renal Medicine Division, at Emory University School of Medicine. She received her PhD degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her research training centered on conducting exercise and nutritional clinical interventions in patients with kidney failure to improve cardiovascular outcomes. She then completed postdoctoral training at the Georgia Prevention Institute at Augusta University where she investigated mechanisms underlying vascular dysfunction and blood pressure reactivity in populations at risk for cardiovascular disease, including Black adults and cystic fibrosis.

Dr. Jeong's current research at Emory focuses on exploring neurovascular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease and their links with kidney damage and physical frailty in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (funded under NIH-NIDDK-K01). She investigates the interactive roles of neurovascular dysfunction, particularly during cardiovascular stressors such as exercise and mental stress, on adverse patient outcomes in older adults with CKD, with the goal of advancing translational and clinical knowledge in geriatric nephrology.
