Announcing the Young Nephrologists Awards
The YNC is pleased to announce this year’s recipients of the Young Nephrologists Awards:
 |
Dr. Julian A. Marschner (Germany) – best basic science abstract, “A kidney-on-the-chip approach using primary human tubular cells in a 3D co-culture system.”
Dr. Marschner is currently completing postdoctoral work developing complex in vitro assays to gain mechanistic insights into processes of kidney injury, inflammation, and regeneration. |
 |
Dr. Sandhya Suresh (India) – best clinical science abstract, “A randomized controlled trial of rituximab versus modified Ponticelli regimen in the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy – a pilot study.”
Dr. Suresh is currently completing her advanced nephrology training and has a special interest in glomerulonephritides and dialysis. |
We warmly encourage you to join us at WCN’21 for the winners’ presentations on Saturday, April 17, from 8.30 – 8.55 a.m. EDT.
The quality of research submitted was highly impressive, and it was no easy task to select just two abstracts. The YNC would therefore like to acknowledge the overall quality of submissions by showcasing the best abstract for each region below.
