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.

Building a biobank is key to finding new treatments for Recurrent Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis. If you or someone you know has #rFSGS and you want to learn how you can help by providing a biosample, email mb5150@cumc.columbia.edu.

Duke PUMP is our effort to address the workforce crisis in Nephrology& urology. We are accepting applications for our 3rd cohort. Only 37% of positions filled in Peds Neph this year!! We should engage young folks in career in Neph from elementary school!! #NIDDK #ASPN @asnkidney.bsky.social
