Dr. Steven Coca is a former graduate from University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his medical residency and clinical nephrology fellowship at Yale University and Yale New Haven Hospital in CT. He also received a Master’s Degree in Epidemiology and Public Health during his training at Yale. He was on faculty in the Section of Nephrology for 5 years as an Assistant Professor. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He has been an active investigator in three large NIH-funded consortiums: the Translational Research in Biomarker Endpoints in Acute Kidney Injury (TRIBE-AKI) consortium; the Assessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae in Acute Kidney Injury (ASSESS-AKI) consortium; and the CKD Biomarkers Consortium. Dr. Coca is also the PI of an ancillary study to the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial and a member of the newly formed Drug Development Tools for Kidney Disease (DDT-KD) Consortium, sponsored by the Critical Path Institute. His major research areas include using newer biomarkers to aide risk-stratification for outcomes in acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. His major clinical interests include AKI, CKD, electrolyte disorders, hypertension, and cardiorenal syndrome.

Dr. Coca is actively involved in clinical and translational research that focuses on using biomarkers to improve risk-stratification for outcomes in acute and chronic kidney disease. The development of prognostic and predictive biomarkers may aide future clinical trials, by serving as an enrichment strategy for enrollment, and may also serve as outcomes for early phase trials of novel interventions. He has leveraged existing cohorts with banked blood and urine samples, including the TRIBE-AKI consortium, and the ACCORD trial participants to explore the prognostic, discriminative, and additional value of biomarkers in AKI and CKD. He plans to continue exploring these parameters in other large cohorts and then to design innovative trials employing biomarkers for facilitated enrollment and for better determination of efficacy of existing or new agents.
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
