Lectures and Presentations
Sunder Sims-Lucas, PhD
Manipulating Fatty Acid Oxidation to Protect Against AKI
Basic/Clinical Science Session: AKI: Old and New Players
November 06, 2022, 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Of Note: Four undergraduate students who participated in the 2022 University of Pittsburgh Summer Research Internship Program Kidney Workshop (SRIP-Kid), an R25 NIH-funded workshop led by Dr. Sims-Lucas and Division Chief Jacqueline Ho, MD, MS, that gives students first hand experience conducting kidney-related research coupled with didactic lessons on kidney formation, physiology, and disease processes, will travel with him to Kidney Week 2022 to be immersed in the latest nephrology research and clinical work that will be presented at this year’s conference. Learn more about the innovative SRIP-Kid program here.
