Congratulations, Professor Kate Bramham!
CRIBS Global is delighted to celebrate the promotion of Dr Kate Bramham to Professor at King’s College London, effective 1 August 2026, a richly deserved recognition of years of dedicated clinical care, research leadership, and advocacy.
Kate is a Consultant Nephrologist at King’s College London. She has long been a driving force behind efforts to improve kidney health for women, particularly during pregnancy, and for communities of African ancestry who are too often underserved by conventional care pathways. As Lead for the UK CKD Africa Genetic group and a member of the Kidney Research UK Health Inequalities scoping committee, she has helped shape a more equitable approach to kidney disease research and treatment, one rooted in the conviction that good care should never depend on how well-resourced a setting is.
As co-founder of PrAKI (Pregnancy-related Acute Kidney Injury), Kate has led groundbreaking work to raise awareness and harness affordable, point-of-care technology to predict, prevent and manage kidney injury in pregnancy, protecting women from consequences that can last a lifetime. Her research spans the UK and Africa, and her writing on renal disease, pregnancy and ethnicity has helped shift how the field thinks about risk, detection and treatment.
Beyond the titles and trials, those who know Kate know her as something more: a generous mentor, a steady and inspiring colleague, and a true friend to many across the CRIBS Global community. This promotion reflects not only her scientific contribution but the trust and warmth she has built with everyone she works alongside.
Please join us in congratulating Professor Kate Bramham on this wonderful milestone. We can’t wait to see where her leadership takes us next.
