Dr. Julie Bejoy just won a three year postdoctoral fellowship from the American Diabetes Association!!!

We are beyond thrilled for her. 🎉

@julie08james @AmDiabetesAssn

We celebrated by going to to Pinewood Social for bowling 🎳 and snacks.

Congrats Julie!!!

Our "sepsis-in-a-dish" collaboration with the Ware & Bastarache labs was just published open access in @DMM_Journal

Ascorbate protects human kidney organoids from damage induced by cell-free hemoglobin

Our VA MERIT award on kidney regeneration was renewed!!!

Excited to add exosomes 🧪and kidney organoids 🧫 to the project.

We went to Top Golf to celebrate ⛳️

Rick Welch was the clear winner 🏆

But we all had fun!!

Big congrats to my first BME graduate student, now PhD candidate, Justin Farry for passing his qualifying exam yesterday!!!

Great job Justin! 🥂

1 in 7 people have chronic kidney disease. It’s time for gene therapy to do something about it!

Come by Jen Peek’s poster #1684 today to learn more about scAAV delivery to the kidney.

Our fantastic rotation student Gabby took this image and perfect timing for #FluorescenceFriday. Kidney glomerulus in red, CGRP+ nerve in green. Will leave this one in red and green since it seems fitting for this kidney ‘rose’.

So incredible to see the change in organization of segments within kidney organoids when a longer nephron progenitor stage is included in the protocol. https://t.co/i0OfM31z3R

The Woodard Lab is hiring for an undergraduate research position! Come learn how to do cutting edge biomedical research with our diverse group for 10-20 hours per week. Paid or for credit. We engineer gene and cell therapies for kidney regeneration. #Vandy #VU2026 #VU2025

Think of all the failed transfections because a 5 kb plasmid was really a 10 kb dimer and we never knew 🫠 @plasmidsaurus

Amazing neuroscience post doc opportunity! 👇👇

[JASN_News @JASN_News]

Do adult progenitor cells exist in adult mammalian kidneys? This study provides convincing and conclusive data demonstrating that cells expressing Aqp2 & V-ATPase subunits B1 & B2 function as Aqp2+ progenitor cells in the adult mouse kidney https://t.co/uceEhzHByR

Work let by Christoph Schell and his team, where we add more insights on the ever growing story of podocyte adhesion in health and disease. @SFB1453_NephGen @UniFreiburg @UKEHamburg

[Jen Peek @JenPeekMSTP]

Excited to share our review from @MattWilsonLab about recent advances in kidney gene therapy and why we are designing therapies for cystinuria!

Remember how jealous you were of your friends that got to go to Space Camp? Well @ASNKidney runs a Kidney Camp for North American Medical students. It sounds so cool it makes me want to go back to medical school. Apply now at https://t.co/Q03cPOPONo
