"ReBuilding Kidneys" presented by Iain Drummond, Ph.D.
July 12, 2021 | 5-6PM
For the past century, MDIBL has been a crossroads for investigators who made the original discoveries on how the kidney works, taking advantage of marine fish that taught us key lessons about human kidney function. Now, kidney research at MDIBL stands on the shoulders of these giants and aims to understand how to make and incorporate new kidney tissue to address the challenges of chronic kidney disease and organ replacement. Turning again to the fish, we have discovered how kidney stem cells can make and engraft new kidney tissue after injury as a model for how to promote human stem cell-derived kidney tissue engraftment and organ replacement. As part of the NIH ReBuilding a Kidney consortium, MDIBL continues to forge new knowledge in kidney function and regeneration.
