We have the momentum, let’s solve the problems of rFSGS, first step is to have critical mass of patients’ derived biomaterials to start answering fundamental questions that will lead us to better understanding of disease mechanisms and durable therapy🙏🏽

Our #rFSGS biobank is growing and we welcome patients from all over the world! Please reach out to us if you are a patient or a physician caring for one. We are creating a resource for everyone to use with the goal of resolving this disease and find new cures.
