Dr. Verma is a clinician-investigator interested in chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal amyloidosis, cardiorenal syndrome, diabetic kidney disease (DKD), renal physiology, and electrolyte abnormalities. Dr. Verma's research projects include epidemiologic investigations utilizing large databases and translational and patient-oriented research projects. Ongoing studies include predictors of CKD progression using CRIC cohort and UK biobank, predictors of mortality in CKD patients using NHANES, a Physiology study examining the role of Kidney Function Reserve and renal plasma flow in phenotyping chronic kidney disease and the role of intravitreal VEGF inhibitors in causing nephrotoxicity. Dr. Verma is a member of the APRC committee for the Framingham Heart Study. He sits on the Editorial Board of Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism, Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease, Plos One, BMC Nephrology, BMC Medicine, and Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation.
