Shana Coley, MD, PhD Nephropathologist

About

Dr. Shana Coley initially joined Arkana Laboratories in 2021 to direct the Transplant Translational Research Program and to establish and direct the Multiplex Imaging Center, now called the Clinical Biomarker Center, and returned to the team in 2026 as a diagnostic nephropathologist. A physician-scientist, Dr. Coley is a cellular immunologist with a focus on T cell biology in the setting of transplantation. In her research, Dr. Coley has developed novel approaches using cutting-edge technologies to interrogate archival human kidney allograft biopsies with a focus on predicting outcomes of therapy in T-cell mediated rejection and understanding mechanisms of human T cell behavior within peripheral tissues. Her clinical sub-specialty training and diagnostic expertise are in renal transplant pathology and medical renal pathology, with fellowship training at Columbia University, and prior faculty practice at Columbia University, NYU, and the University of Glasgow / NHS GG&C in Scotland.

In a parallel role, Dr. Coley is Associate Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Director of Xenotransplantation Pathology at NYU Langone Transplant Institute, a unique opportunity that positions Arkana as one of the first few centers in the world to diagnose kidney xenotransplant biopsies.

When not at the scope or at the bench, Dr. Shana Coley enjoys traveling to different countrysides, eating outside, and listening to her daughter’s stories.
