Sampson Lab for Kidney Genomics
@thesampsonlab.bsky.social
The Sampson Lab for Kidney Genomics at Boston Children's Hospital uses #genomics to discover the causes, treatments, and cures of nephrotic syndrome in children
While nephrotic syndrome is most commonly classified by response to therapy, other factors also matter, including age of onset, genetics, and kidney biopsy findings. These other classifications help clinicians tailor care and move closer to precision medicine for pediatric kidney disease.

Instead of studying one gene at a time, omics research looks at biology on a system-wide level, helping researchers better understand complex diseases like nephrotic syndrome. 🧬

Great talk by Jeerthi Kannan on sequence-based prediction of MPRA amplification failure. Using SVM models trained on DNA sequences, she achieved high precision and showed many failed oligos could be rescued through strand-aware design, a strong example of genomics + ML in action.

We had the best time at the Boston Common Tree Lighting last week 🎄✨
We met at Park Street and headed over together for live music, Santa sightings, and all the holiday vibes. Cold night, warm energy. Thanks to everyone who came out, and to Victoria for planning it all! ❄️❤️

Our collaborative work uncovered genetic changes near two genes, NPHS1 and TNFSF15, that may help explain why some children develop steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. These findings showed how small genetic changes can affect how the kidneys and immune system communicate.
