Western establishes William F Clark Chair in Nephrology

Western University has established the William F Clark Chair in Nephrology at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry thanks to a $3.5M endowment from the London Health Sciences Foundation and the Kidney Foundation of Canada that has been matched by Western. The chair is named after nephrologist and Western professor emeritus Dr William F Clark. The chair holder will research new ways to improve care for individuals with kidney disease. “The Clark Chair in Nephrology will contribute to developing better practices, policies, tools, and technology, all of which will translate into better treatments and patient care,” said Western President Alan Shepard.
