Before coming to Yale, Hebert was a faculty member at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, Eastern Virginia Medical School, the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Harvard Medical School, and Vanderbilt University as director of the Division of Nephrology and the Ann and Roscoe R. Robinson Professor of Medicine.
With colleagues, he launched the biotech companies MariCal and Pearl Development Group.
