From a chance encounter years ago, far away, to this milestone today. Proud to have been involved in this research! Breakthroughs happen when we share ideas and challenge paradigms. Science moves forward when we work together—and this is just the beginning. #Nephrology #Research #TeamScience
In 2020, we started to question whether #idiopathicnephroticsyndrome is strictly a 'pure' podocytopathy. Today, I am happy to share our new manuscript proposing a role of the glomerular endothelium in the disease pathogenesis.

The enthusiasm and the passion of the USC KDSAP students was truly inspiring! One common goal: fighting #kidneydisease
On Saturday, UKRO hosted a mixer at Pitfire Pizza Pasadena for students from USC KDSAP and faculty from @keck.usc.edu. Students had the opportunity to network & learn about novel research approaches to address #kidneydisease. Thank you to all who came!
