Thrilled to share a new output from my PhD in David Long’s @UCL_ICH_Kidney lab @UCLchildhealth, published in @DMM_Journal doi.org/10.1242/dmm.052024 We studied kidney microvascular changes in polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the most common genetic cause of kidney failure (1/5)

As part of #BritishScienceWeek, we’re shining a spotlight on Emily Moore, a dedicated PhD student at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health. Emily’s research is investigating new treatments for children with kidney disease by studying glomerulosclerosis, which involves damage to the tiny blood vessels where blood is filtered by the kidney. Under the supervision of Dr. Jennie Chandler (who we proudly celebrated on #InternationalWomensDay), Emily’s work is helping drive progress toward our mission of ending kidney disease. Thank you, Emily, for your hard work and commitment to making a difference! @EmilyMoore33714
