The John McKay Fellowship was established in honor of John McKay, the famed head coach of the USC Trojans from 1960-1975, and of the Tampa Buccaneers from 1976-1984, who died of kidney disease in 2001.
This fellowship assists specialists (fellows) in the areas of clinical nephrology and clinical and basic research through a training program at The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension Center of USC’s Keck School of Medicine. Recipients of the John McKay Fellowship include 2010 winner Anne Riquier-Brison, Ph.D., Li Yang, M.D., Ph.D., Susanne Angelow, Ph.D., and Jeanie Park, M.D..
During their training, fellows have the opportunity to pursue individual research projects in a variety of areas. Read more about the research projects here:
