Lots of great ideas at the Alport Syndrome Research Regulatory workshop held two weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing what we can achieve next. alportsyndrome.org/wp-content/u...

Are you a PhD or MD PhD in medical science or related discipline? If you are interested in a postdoctoral research fellowship, there is a great opportunity @uhntoronto.bsky.social. And contact me if interested in studying kidney disease: www.uhn.ca/corporate/Ab...

Congratulations to Professor Kai at #KumamotoUniversity for bringing together the #AlportSyndrome community in Japan to advance efforts in awareness, early diagnosis and therapeutic development. I was honoured to be a small part of it.

Having a fabulous Bluesky day in Japan! Trip to Minamata with team #Alport & family @moumitabarua.bsky.social @jeffminerphd.bsky.social @alportuk.bsky.social

How does gene variant influence mechanism in Alport syndrome? We became interested in learning about this in trying to understand how to approach precision based therapeutics. Read our review by Bilge Çaparali, MD and Vanessa De Gregorio, MSc journals.lww.com/jasn/abstrac...

Human genetic studies have highlighted type IV collagen as critical for kidney filtration function--I am looking forward to learning from and participating in this workshop on Alport syndrome.

A fruitful collaboration utilizing data in UK Biobank to NEPTUNE and more--highlights a genetically predicted exon skipping event in collagen IV as a contributor to glomerular hematuria. journals.lww.com/jasn/fulltex...

Our spotlight on collagen- formation, function & role in kidney disease is out now!

A wonderful collaboration with Moumita Barua & Vanessa De Gregorio
