Katalin Susztak (Suszták) is a Hungarian American scientist and nephrologist at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a professor of medicine and genetics, and currently the codirector of the Complications Unit at the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Her laboratory made major contributions to the current understanding of kidney disease development.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] She is also the founder of the Transformative Research In DiabEtic NephropaThy (TRIDENT),[11] a collaborative network of physicians and basic scientists, to find cures for diabetic kidney disease.
