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
We are excited to join the global nephrology community at #KidneyWeek2025 in Houston! From genetics to AI in research, this year’s sessions are all about collaboration and innovation in kidney health.
Stay tuned as we share updates from the conference floor!

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.

Your kidneys filter 50 gallons of blood every single day. Drinking enough water helps support kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney stones and other complications. So yes, staying hydrated? It’s a love letter to your kidneys.#sampsonlab #kidneyhelalth #nephrology

Dr. Sampson’s lab is leading the Data Science curriculum for research fellows who are part of the NIH Training Grant. Michelle McNulty and Kristen Gibson are kicking it off with a two-class series on the fundamentals of R. It’s so exciting that even Dr. Bonventre is taking it!

What is nephrotic syndrome, and what’s actually causing it? Nephrotic syndrome isn’t one disease; it’s a group of symptoms caused by damage to the kidney’s filters. Follow along as we break down the most common root causes of nephrotic syndrome one post at a time. #nephroticsyndrome #sampsonlab

The first 4–6 weeks of treatment help doctors understand how a child’s body is responding to steroids. This early response helps determine if the nephrotic syndrome is steroid-sensitive or steroid-resistant, a key step in guiding next steps for care.

On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Dongwon Lee, Principal Investigator, share his experience at the 2025 Gordon Research Conference on Human Genetics and Genomics in Portland, ME. We’re always proud to see our team contributing to such impactful scientific spaces!

The line between MCD and FSGS isn’t always obvious. Both can cause nephrotic syndrome, but the body’s response to steroid treatment helps tell them apart. This is why treatment response and sometimes biopsy results are so important.
