Dr. Juha P. Kokko is the recipient of the 2005 Berliner/Abbott
Award. In 1964, Dr. Kokko became the first student to graduate
from Emory’s combined M.D./Ph.D. program. After graduation,
Dr. Kokko did his internship and residency at the Johns Hopkins
Hospitals and then became a Clinical Associate and Chief Resident
at the National Heart Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. In
1969, Dr. Kokko moved to Southwestern Medical School in
Dallas, where he established the technique of perfusing isolated
kidney tubules in vitro and rapidly rose through the academic
ranks to be promoted to Professor of Medicine and Chief of
Nephrology within just 5 years. In Texas, he authored more than
100 original works with the central theme of mechanisms of salt
and water transport across various nephron segments. The clinical
significance of this work has been the understanding of salt,
acid-base, and volume homeostasis in health and disease. He also
has authored a number of books and book chapters including
Fluid and Electrolytes, which he coedited with Richard Tannen,
M.D., and has been one of six principal editors of Cecil’s
Textbook of Medicine. He has trained over 100 postdoctoral
fellows, many of whom are now directors of Divisions of Nephrology at other prestigious universities.
In 1984, he was elected as the president of the American Society of Nephrology. Dr. Kokko was recruited
in 1986 to become the Asa G. Candler Professor and Chairman of Medicine of Emory School of
Medicine and now is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine who still enjoys participating in various Emory
teaching missions.
