Super happy to be awarded the @ERC_Research Consolidator grant !! 🍾
The NEOGRAFT project aims at increasing the numbers of kidney allografts available for transplantation by means of cell therapy, using as source the kidney stem/progenitor cells from urine of preterm naonates.

We are thrilled to welcome the President of @ESPNSociety & world-renowned leader of the @LevtchenkoL, Dr Elena Levtchenko to @nationwidekids!

Her team has perfected the collection of kidney stem & progenitor cells from urine. Cures for kidney disease are around the corner! 🤞🏽

@kidsbeansdoc Dear Susan, based on our 2-year study results yet, chitotriosidase holds the potential to rule out low or non-compliance with cysteamine, and to identify severely affected patients; we would very much like to confirm our promising data in a large EU - US cohort study!

Dr. Veys and Dr. Mohamed Elmonem on behalf of Levtchenko’s Lab were awarded for the best oral presentation today at the session ‘Kidney diseases: from childhood to adults’ @ ERA-EDTA 2019 with Chitotriosidase as a novel additional biomarker for cystinosis
