My group has two posters tonight at 5:30 pm on regenerating the kidney with gene and cell therapies! Justin Farry will present #233 on cell therapy 🧫 and I will present #116 for Julie Bejoy on exosomes 🧪 🧬🧬🧬 #ASGCT22 🧬🧬🧬

Had an amazing time at #ASGCT22! Can’t wait to head back to Vanderbilt and try out all the new gene therapy techniques I’ve learned in the kidney!

Our new #nephrology #stemcell paper on iPSC-derived #podocytes 🐙is out! by @Julie08james Justin F Jen Peek , @marianacabatu Felisha Williams, Rick Welch, and Eddie Qian stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Just received the notice of award from NIDDK for my F30 fellowship! So grateful to have the support to pursue renal gene therapy. Thanks to my incredible mentors Matthew H. Wilson Lauren E. Woodard and the endless support from Vanderbilt MSTP Vanderbilt Cell and Developmental Biology Oigres kerscher GannonLab

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

Dr.Matthew H. Wilson,M.D.,Ph.D. is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology & Hypertension and is a new Faculty Advisor of Stahlman Thomas. He trained with Vanderbilt MSTP, where he completed his PhD in Pharmacology. Read more about his journey: medschool.vanderbilt.edu/mstp/2022/09/2…

Maybe counterintuitive, but getting a puppy has made me so much more productive with my time in lab.. She's insane but adorably hard to stay away from

Wilson Lab Matthew H. Wilson are excited to walk the At Your Pace Kidney Race this morning! @VUMCKidney

So excited and proud of my med school cohort for matching this week! G2 year in the MD/PhD training is bittersweet but I can't wait to see where everyone ends up on Friday 🥳

🥂 Drs. Matthew H. Wilson and Jen Peek from Vanderbilt Cell and Developmental Biology review the potentials of cell and #GeneTherapy for kidney diseases, focusing on recent studies, key advances, and emerging technologies! Congratulations to the dynamic duo 👯! @NatRevNep | go.nature.com/3lRxt3y

Check out our review of Cell and Gene Therapy for Kidney Disease in Nature Reviews Nephrology! rdcu.be/c8uPg I'm so thankful for my mentor Matthew H. Wilson who provides such incredible opportunities for trainees!

Stop by poster 559 tonight to catch up on the very latest in Woodard Lab kidney regeneration gene and cell therapies! Exosomes from urine-derived stem cells tested in human kidney organoid models of injury. Presented by postdoc Julie Bejoy Julie Bejoy #ASGCT2023 #ASGCT23

Stop by my poster (#1684) to hear about gene therapy to the coolest organ! #ASGCT2023

If you are still at #ASGCT23 today, come check out my talk on “Evolving AAV for Kidney Gene Transfer”

And that's a wrap on #ASGCT2023! So exciting to see all the new innovations in gene therapy and can't wait to come back!

The frozen section

My Panera sips buddy / imageJ coding wizard passed his PhD qualifying exam!! Congrats Justin F 👏

Pro tip: getting engaged to a computer science PhD student greatly increases the number of ImageJ macros at your disposal lol

Excited to share my thesis work on AAV delivery to the kidney for cystinuria treatment at #kidneyweek Presenting right now at the top trainee posters in the futures theater and also on Saturday at poster SA-PO647!

Congratulations to Jen Peek Jen Peek for being awarded one of the top trainee presentations at the ASN meeting! American Society of Nephrology Vanderbilt MSTP @VUMCKidney
