Dr. O’Neill has an active basic and translational research program. His current research focuses on the pathophysiology of vascular calcification in renal failure specifically on the role of endogenous pyrophosphate in the etiology of vascular calcification. In addition, the role of other factors including vitamin D and matrix GLA protein is being investigated along with possible mechanisms for reversal of vascular calcification.
Dr. O’Neill received his M.D. from Tufts University School of Medicine. He then completed a residency in internal medicine at Albany Medical Center followed by subspecialty training in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism at Tufts Medical Center and in nephrology at Emory University School of Medicine.
