@PKDAustralia is running their “KICK PKD” campaign, fundraising for research, awareness and hope!
To give back, I’m hosting a #kickpkd walk at @latrobe. Please support this cause by sponsoring me or sharing this event.

Happy World Kidney Day! 🫘🌏
I am so privilege to be apart of the Cardiorenal Lab at @latrobe and to be able to focus my PhD studies on kidney disease.

Today please take some time to pay attention to your kidneys and drink some water-your kidneys will love it! @SABE_latrobe

🌏 It's @worldkidneyday, and we're celebrating the amazing scientists at @LaTrobe_CVR! They not only research kidney disease, but also cardiovascular health and diabetes, which significantly impact kidney function. In the pic are some of this fantastic team - love your work! 👏👏

2/2🚀 Excitingly, @BrookeHuuskes identified a switch that drives inflammation in PKD. Their goal? Developing drugs to stop or even reverse kidney damage - bringing hope for a future where PKD is manageable with medication.

1/2🟢 Today is #WorldKidneyDay – a day to raise awareness about kidney health and the urgent need for better treatments.
🔬 Dr. @BrookeHuuskes and her team are tackling polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a condition with no cure, leading to kidney failure and the need for dialysis or transplant. Watch Dr. Huuskes share how their research is paving the way for life-changing treatments.👇

At the Centre, we not only focus on kidney disease but also on cardiovascular health and diabetes research—two factors that significantly impact kidney function.

1/2 ❤️ Such a pleasure to welcome a special group of visitors to the @LaTrobeCVR labs last week: Members of the public with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) - a lesser-known yet common disease which affects about one in 1,000 Australians.

2/2 🔬 Dr Brooke Huuskes and her team introduced the visitors to the role of discovery science in finding treatments for PKD, and each visitor shared their lived experience of the disease. An empowering afternoon of knowledge-sharing – TY @PKDAustralia!

Still buzzing from Friday’s #MAPPSYMPOSIUM2024! 🎙️

Cannot thank this team enough for all the hard work putting the event together and making it such an amazing day.

Was great to see so many amazing talks and presentations from our @MAPP_latrobe HDR students (@MAPP_postgrads).

[La Trobe MAPP Postgrads @MAPP_postgrads]

Goodnight from the symposium organising committee!! Thankyou to all who came along to the event and our presenters for sharing their research!! Until next year 🎉

[Emily Major @EmilyMajorLTU]

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Bladder and kidney health symposium hosted by @MonashUni . I was able to presented my work on Polycystic kidney disease as a poster and network with other scientist in the field

#MAPPSYMPOSIUM2024
A massive congratulations to @MAPP_postgrads for hosting the student symposium today! It was a lovely day and I was so privileged to help organise this event. I would also like to thank you for the opportunity to present my work on polycystic kidney disease in a 10 minute talk and a poster. Been a lovely day

[Zoe Whitehouse @zoewhitehouse_]

It’s been amazing to share my first PhD symposium experience with the other PhD students from the Annesley Lab and Emily who have helped me settle into student life at La Trobe University!

#MAPPSYMPOSIUM2024

[Emily Major @EmilyMajorLTU]

A lot of networking opportunities at the #MAPPSYMPOSIUM2024

[La Trobe MAPP Postgrads @MAPP_postgrads]

Thankyou everyone for coming to our Speed Networking event yesterday!! Activities like 2 truths 1 lie about your project, a paper airplane and egg drop competition helped to break the ice between our HDR students and was a super fun afternoon! 🧠🧬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

[Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology @MAPP_latrobe]

Great to see our MAPP HDRs presenting at the @ONJCRI Northern Brightest Stars Student Symposium! 🎙️

And a huge congratulations to @Irumi_A from the @HelbigLab for winning the flash talks! ⚡️🎉

[World Kidney Day @worldkidneyday]

On #WorldPolycysticKidneyDiseaseDay, we shine a light on #PKD, a genetic condition causing cysts to grow in the kidneys, often leading to kidney failure.

[PKD Australia @PKDAustralia]

Today is PKD Awareness Day and this year, we also celebrate the tenth anniversary of PKD Australia!

As we look back on the past ten years, we do so with immense pride in what we have accomplished together.
