🚨Today our airway basal cell proliferation screening work is published @J_Cell_Sci!

We found that multiple Wnt activating compounds promote basal cell proliferation and validated 1-azakenpaullone in vivo.

Thrilled to share a new output from my PhD in David Long’s @UCL_ICH_Kidney lab @UCLchildhealth, published in @DMM_Journal

https://t.co/5Som48O8JR

We studied kidney microvascular changes in polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the most common genetic cause of kidney failure (1/5)

[Kidney Research UK @Kidney_Research]

As part of #BritishScienceWeek, we’re shining a spotlight on Emily Moore, a dedicated PhD student at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.

Emily’s research is investigating new treatments for children with kidney disease by studying glomerulosclerosis, which involves damage to the tiny blood vessels where blood is filtered by the kidney.

Under the supervision of Dr. Jennie Chandler (who we proudly celebrated on #InternationalWomensDay), Emily’s work is helping drive progress toward our mission of ending kidney disease.

Thank you, Emily, for your hard work and commitment to making a difference!

Congratulations all and especially to our Prof Hargreave!

[Kidney Research UK @Kidney_Research]

We are shining a spotlight on Dr Jennie Chandler for #InternationalWomensDay!

As a recipient of a Kidney Research UK intermediate fellowship grant, Jennie is leading ground-breaking research within the kidney development and disease group at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.

Her work is driving progress to improve treatment options for childhood kidney disease, bringing hope to lots of families.

Beyond her research, Jennie is an advocate for our mission, regularly attending events to share her knowledge and inspire others.

We are incredibly grateful for Jennie’s dedication, passion, and commitment to making a difference. Thank you, Jennie! 💜
