Wai L Lau, MD

I am an assistant professor in the University of Florida Division of Nephrology, Hypertension and Renal Transplantation, within the areas of internal medicine and nephrology, and I am board certified in both. I specialize in the treatment and research of glomerular diseases, and I am committed to improving patient care by providing access to novel treatment options via clinical studies for glomerular diseases.

I completed medical school in 1995 at State University of New York Health Science Center and completed my internal residency at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, where I subsequently completed a nephrology fellowship. I also completed a glomerular fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center.

I am the principle investigator of several studies here at the UF for IgA glomerulonephritis and FSGS. Patient participation in these clinical studies gives greater access to treatments that are otherwise limited and suboptimal. It is my joy being able to provide patients, often younger, get treatment to improve their lives.

When not practicing at UF Health Nephrology – Shands Hospital, I enjoy keeping up with my personal interests: hiking, cooking and photography.
