We hope you spent a pleasant summer. We are back, full of energy and already planning the future with TrainCKDis!

🔜If you are at #ISCB44 and interested in #GWAS and #mediationAnalysis, I'm presenting chapter 1 of my #PhD research where we applied it on #kidney function and #CKD. 🔴Happy to chat at #poster WP111, tomorrow on Wed 30th Aug ISCB_info 😊 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you are at #ISCB44, go see the work of one of our great PhD student Dariush Ghasemi ! ⬇️

September 4 is PKD Awareness Day! PKD is a chronic, life-threatening, genetic condition causing uncontrolled growth of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, often leading to kidney failure. Knowledge is power.

Some of our ESRs are at #NephgenSymposium #NephGen in Freiburg to present their work. How exiting !

Chapter 2 of my #PhD! @CristianPattaro and I made a pipeline through #molWAS of the reconstructed haplotypes at #SHROOM3 to expand understanding on this mysterious #Kidney, #CKD -associated locus. If you're at #NephgenSymposium, please come by at #poster P171 to discuss more.

Carlotta Pioppini from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin also presented her work in Freiburg at the #NephgenSymposium #NephGen with her poster entitled " genetic interaction between #XBP1 and #Pkd1 modulates #ADPKD progression "

I'm excited to share that I have an oral abstract presentation "Harnessing kidney transcriptome profiles to predict diabetic kidney disease progression" at American Society of Nephrology's #KidneyWk on November 2 in Philly! You can find the abstract and the schedule here: asn-online.org/education/kidn…

Delighted to share our latest publication in EMBO Molecular Medicine. #UZH_en Allelic effects on uromodulin aggregates drive autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease | EMBO Molecular Medicine embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Congratulations to the MIKADO Group and especially to Marta Mariniello, one of our brilliant student for their publication in EMBO Molecular Medicine. #EU #ITN

I will be presenting today my improved PhD chapter 2 on #haplotypeAnalysis of #SHROOM3, a locus known for renal function, at #ASHG2023 in Washington D.C. See you at PB4318 today at 14:15 to 16:15, Nov. 4, 2023. Biomedicine - Eurac Research TrainCKDis ITN #kidney #CKD #CKDGen

Exciting News in Mitochondrial Choline Transport! Go check the article, written by one of our student Suraj Patil, now available on medRxiv which uncovers the SLC25A48 as a human mitochondrial choline transporter. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Marta Mariniello on successfully defending your thesis! Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off ! MIKADO Group University of Zurich

TrainCKDis ITN It is our second day in Leiden today. At the closing meeting of TrainCKDis, our ESRs are giving a presentation about their projects. Their purpose for coming to Leiden is to interact and discuss the progression of their work. Wishing all of them the best!

It is with great sorrow that we learned of the passing of Tess Harris. The TrainCKDis family grieve the loss of Tess and thank her for her dedication to the project. We will hold in our hearts her smile as much as her unfailing implication in our work. pkdcharity.org.uk/news-events/bl…

Happy World Kidney Day!

Dariush Ghasemi, our doctorant, is working on the 'identification of genetic determinants of kidney function and chronic kidney disease' at Eurac Research. Darius has submitted his manuscript for a peer-review. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… We wish you all success. Finger crossed!
