KURE
(fka: SeCURE)
2013-2019
What is now KURE was developed in 2009 and has evolved over time to focus directly on training individuals interested in biomedical sciences to gain an affinity and interest in kidney-related diseases and their cures.

Our alumni are an impressive group of individuals working throughout the nation (and abroad) to help heal, develop, and research the best pathway forward in their field - kudos to each of them.
