The focus of Dr. Wolf's research is disordered mineral metabolism across the spectrum of chronic kidney disease, including dialysis, kidney transplantation and earlier stages. His research has been published in several leading general medicine and subspecialty journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, Journal of the American Society of Nephrology and Kidney International among others.  His primary contributions have been in the area of hormonal regulation of phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism. He has helped to characterize the physiological role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in health and in chronic kidney disease and the impact of elevated FGF23 levels on adverse clinical outcomes in patients with kidney disease.

During the past decade, Dr. Wolf's research on mineral metabolism has been supported by grants from the American Heart Association, the National Kidney Foundation, the American Society of Nephrology, and the National Institutes of Health, and he has served as primary mentor for students, residents, fellows and faculty members involved in patient-oriented research. He serves on the editorial boards for Journal of the American Society of Nephrology and Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology and as an ad hoc peer reviewer for several other journals.  Dr. Wolf has been invited to deliver numerous national and international lectures on his research, has been the recipient of teaching and mentoring awards, and in 2010, he was elected to the American Society of Clinical Investigation.
