🎉 Last week, we gathered as a lab to celebrate the milestone of Choah Kim, Eric Sakkas, and Junmo Sung as they prepare for their next chapter in medicine and research.

We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll continue to make in healthcare, science, and beyond!

🔬🌍 Clinical Trials Day – May 20

Today, we recognize the power of clinical research to transform patient care and celebrate the medical breakthroughs achieved through clinical trials.

The ISN is advancing kidney health globally by supporting high-quality clinical trials, especially in low- and middle-income countries through the ISN-Advancing Clinical Trials (ISN-ACT) initiative. By fostering global collaboration, connecting researchers, supporting patient engagement and providing practical trial resources and education, ISN-ACT is helping build a stronger, more inclusive future for nephrology research.

Together, we can strengthen evidence-based kidney care and ensure more patients everywhere benefit from research and innovation.

Podocytopathies share a core problem: loss of podocyte autophagy, which leads to proteinuria. According to a #Review in #ASNKidney360, boosting autophagy can help, but current treatments are limited by side effects and sparse clinical data. https://t.co/iq2mOjpOqU

Kidney disease impacts more than physical health; it also affects how people think, feel, and navigate everyday life.

Supporting mental health is not separate from treating kidney disease; it’s part of it.

Kidney disease affects more than physical health; it can also have a significant impact on mental well-being.

Support, resources, and open conversations can make a meaningful difference. #KidneyHealth #MentalHealthMatters #NephroticSyndrome #ChronicIllness #SampsonLab #BIGKiDs

🧬 While there are tens of thousands of genes, only a portion directly code for proteins, the molecules that carry out essential functions in our cells. Understanding this helps us study how genetic variation impacts health and disease.

Diagnosing nephrotic syndrome starts with understanding what’s happening inside the body 🧬
Each test plays a role in guiding the right diagnosis and the right care.

Thank you, Sidhant Puntambekar, for sharing updates on your work to develop computable phenotypes and machine learning models to better detect nephrotic syndrome within biobank EHR data. #nephrology #genomics #kidneyomics #pediatrics #pediatricnephrology #nephroticsyndrome

No todos los casos de síndrome nefrótico son iguales 🧬

Diferentes tipos de síndrome nefrótico afectan el riñón de distintas maneras, y comprender estas diferencias es clave para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento.

La investigación nos ayuda a entender mejor estas diferencias.

Meet our BIGKiDs collaborators
These incredible physicians support us in better understanding nephrotic syndrome, and bring us closer to more answers for kids and families everywhere.

Not all nephrotic syndrome is the same 🧬

Different types of nephrotic syndrome affect the kidney in different ways, and understanding these differences is key to diagnosis and care.

Research helps us better understand these differences.
