About Carl W. Gottschalk

Carl W. Gottschalk, MD (1992-1997), was a groundbreaking physician-scientist who revolutionized renal physiology through innovative research techniques. He is particularly known for his work using micropuncture techniques to study the kidney's ability to concentrate urine and developed foundational theories that transformed our understanding of kidney function. His research provided crucial evidence that fundamentally changed how scientists view renal physiology.
