2025 Kidney Scientist Workshop

Invitation to Attend

Sunday 31 August 2025 | 1100 – 1630 | Meeting Room 9, Level 2, PCEC

In recent years, kidney research has undergone significant advancements in technology and study design. The Kidney Scientist Workshop provides a platform to explore the latest methodologies and approaches used by kidney researchers, as well as innovations from other fields that can be applied to nephrology.

The workshop will cover the spectrum from discovery science to translational research, catering to a diverse audience, including scientists, clinicians, clinician-scientists, and trainees (both clinical and non-clinical). With a focus on methodology and innovation, the event aims to address major challenges in kidney biology, disease, and treatment. We particularly encourage the participation of early and mid-career researchers, offering opportunities to present and co-chair sessions.
