Episode 320: Dr. Thomas Weimbs

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the
Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Thomas Weimbs received his
doctoral degree from the Department of Biochemistry
of the University of Cologne, Germany, in 1993. He
conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of
Anatomy, University of California at San Francisco
until 1999. In the same year, he joined the
Department of Cell Biology in the Lerner Research
Institute of the Cleveland Clinic as an Assistant
Professor where he established his research
laboratory focusing on investigating membrane
trafficking and epithelial cell polarity as well as
molecular mechanisms underlying polycystic kidney
disease. In 2005, Dr. Weimbs was recruited to the
Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental
Biology and moved his laboratory to UCSB. Dr. Weimbs
is currently an Associate Professor in MCDB and in
the Neuroscience Research Institute.


In this episode, Drs. Tro and Thomas talk about how
Dr. Thomas became interested in researching PKD
(Polycystic Kidney Disease), what PKD is, research
that Dr. Thomas has done on the impact of ketosis on
PKD, a recently published paper on the negative
impact of the ketogenic diet on kidney health, how
Dr. Thomas’ colleagues have reacted to his research,
and lifestyle intervention programs using ketogenic
metabolic therapy.
