We are pleased to share that Dr. Nisha Bansal UW Nephrology has been named our new Assistant Vice Chair for Clinical Research. This new role will provide visionary, programmatic & operational leadership for our research mission, w/ a focus on clinical research. Nisha Bansal MD

This was an awesome collab with @oligopain! Thanks to Nature Reviews Nephrology editors and staff for guiding us through this huge undertaking. We couldn't cover everything, but we hope this is a useful primer for studying the 3D and 4D genome in the kidney: rdcu.be/dW2aM

Pegloticase-Induced Rapid Uric Acid Lowering and Kidney and Cardiac Health Markers in Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot Clinical Trial buff.ly/3NyCDvu

📢Another outstanding paper from Petter Bjornstad, M.D. and his team of collaborators! @ A wonderful combination of scRNA, spatial metabolomics, and imaging show early changes in kidney structure and oxidative metabolism in T1D, which precedes DKD. jci.org/articles/view/…

HUGE shoutout to Gabriel Richard, who again showcases his incredible PET segmentation and modeling expertise! We are very fortunate to have him leading the way Université de Sherbrooke and CRCHUS !

Proud of the huge team effort that went into this 10 year effort to understand adolescent bariatric outcomes nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to the 1st place winner of the CJASN Trainee Prize competition, Christine Limonte, MD! Read the winning article here: bit.ly/CJASN0333 UW Nephrology

The onset of DKD in youth with type 2 diabetes mellitus often occurs early, leading to complications in young adulthood. This study sheds new light on proteomic changes early in the course of youth-onset type 2 diabetes that associate with DKD. bit.ly/CJASN0559

Very proud of this project that started as a casual conversation on #CKM syndrome with @ashunephro over a year ago and is now in print at #JASN! Using NHANES data from 1999-2018, we show mortality associated with CKM syndrome stages BU/BMC Section of Nephrology

This study found that higher BMI, particularly obesity, increased the risk of progression to ESKD in early- but not late-stage patients with ADPKD. bit.ly/CJASN0640 Kaleab Abebe, PhD Kristen Nowak tcope.land #ASNCJASN

For Dr. Alex Barker, his research on 4D flow MRI isn’t just hypothetical — it's why we're the only U.S. center routinely performing 4D flow for prenatal patients. See how we're pushing the boundaries of this technology: bit.ly/41wEmti #CardioTwitter #PedsCardiology
