Joel Murphy, MD renal pathologist at arkana laboratories

Joel Murphy, MD Nephropathologist,
Visiting Scholars Program Director

About

Dr. Joel Murphy joined our physician staff after the successful completion of his renal pathology fellowship here at Arkana. He completed his pathology residency at University of Virginia where he was Chief Resident and received his MD from University of Texas at Houston. During his fellowship, Dr. Murphy developed and hosted the Fellowing Joel video series sharing his daily experiences as a fellow, and he continues to be a member of the Social Media team working on new educational series.

At Arkana, Dr. Murphy is always willing to lend a helping hand and has been known to help out several times in a pinch when the deadlines are tight but the work needs to get done. Outside of work, Dr. Murphy enjoys spending time with his family, working out with his co-workers, and even occasionally impressing everyone in a pick-up soccer game. We are lucky to get to work with Dr. Murphy and are thankful he has joined the Arkana team.
