Our @WUNephrology Fellowship Training Program video, blooper version!🤣 #washuneph #nephstrong

~15 years ago, Dr. Fred Coe put forward the “vas washdown” theory for explaining kidney stone formation Alan S.L. Yu @AlanYuNeph & team @KUMedCenter now report on a mouse model for kidney stone formation, showing kidney-specific claudin-2 deficiency leads to medullary nephrocalcinosis—and supporting the vas washdown model for Randall's plaque formation. doi.org/10.1172/JCI197… The figure shows 2D maps of calcium and sodium in midline coronal kidney sections of control (Cre–) and Cldn2 kidney-specific KO (Cre+) mice. Color scale represents concentration in ppm.

So excited to announce our nephrology fellows for 2026. Welcome to the team! #Matchday #nephstrong

Research support for rare diseases, which cumulatively affect ~30 million Americans, is primarily derived from NIH. Such work is exemplified by @AnnaGreka @broadinstitute in a new Ground Truths podcast. Open-access, w/ transcript, full video, no ads

Wow. Ow. NIH slashes indirect cost support to 15%, stunning researchers statnews.com/2025/02/07/nih…

Nephrologists @LeslieGewin and @anuja_java honed their leadership skills at the recent @AAMC Women Faculty Leadership Seminar. "The seminar was one of the best things I have done for my career so far," says Java. More at @WashUNephrology news: bit.ly/40lAJFZ

I’m beyond thrilled to share that I successfully defended my thesis last Wed! Heartfelt thanks to my incredible mentor @morris_lab , beloved Morris Lab members, and everyone who cheered me on throughout this journey. It still feels like a dream, but I’m officially Dr. Yang! 🎓🥳

It’s a great match!!!! @WashUNephrology @WashUDeptMed

@Carmendemigue12 @UAB_NRTC @KUHPRIME I am looking forward!

We are so excited about the 2024 @UAB_NRTC trainee choice speaker @HumphreysLab!!! If you are interested in learning about the AKI too CKD transition, multiomics and spatial technology, join us. It will be a fantastic seminar! DM us for the Zoom link 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 @KUHPRIME

@Vishal_D_Patel 🙏🙏 Vishal!

Super chickens, givers, takers, matchers… and their role in scientific progress. very thoughtful and insightful 👏🏼@HumphreysLab

I had the pleasure of attending this presidential address in person! By far one of the best, funniest, but mostly, important divulgative talks I’ve ever attended to. We all know and met super chicken, perhaps wanted to be super chicken at times, but collective intelligence and giving attitude should prevail! Make the super chicken you know (or your inner super chicken) read this piece and reflect on this :) Be a giver and not a taker!

@SannaCherchiLab Thank you Simone! 🙏

@staruschenko 👍👍👍

@HumphreysLab Congrats! Should we call you President Pumpkinhead?
