Working from home with these two cuties can be soothing and boost productivity ❤️ #NephSky #raredisease #APOL1 #FSGS #CAKUT

Great to see that there are still activities and initiatives supporting training and providing excitement for young physicians and scientists, even in this progressively demotivating climate ! And I spot sir Martin Pollak in the crowd :)

Fantastic new @science.org paper from Ron Do @sinaigenetics.bsky.social on penetrance estimates from large EHR populations, 10 traits, >1,600 rare variants! 👏👏👏 #humangenetics #raredisease #NephSky #MedSky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The KDIGO APOL1 Kidney Disease Conference Report is now available in @kidneyint.bsky.social! Co-chaired by Dr. Akinlolu Ojo (US) & Dr. Ifeoma Ulasi (NG) in Accra, Ghana, the meeting united global experts to address the urgent, inequitable burden of #APOL1. Read the report: kdigo.co/APOL1-Confer...

Inside: - KDIGO & ERA sign new MoU - #APOL1 Conference Report in @kidneyint.bsky.social - Take the KDIGO Guideline Survey: kdigo.co/Global-Guide... - KDIGO at SLANH & ANZSN - New patient resources incl. a #C3G #ICMPGN program with @medliveofficial.bsky.social , @nordrare.bsky.social & NephCure

I spent >20y to try to make a name of myself with hard research, and the Gloria (formerly Nicki), the dog we just rescued, is already famous and published on Vogue! @teenvogue.com @time.com @nytimes.com #americanbulldog #bostonterrier #NephSky #SkyNeph #MedSky web.archive.org/web/20250819...

Thank you @opeyemiolabisi.bsky.social and the whole @dukekidney.bsky.social , @gbadegesinlab.bsky.social , Laura Barisoni et al! It was a great couple of days of scientific excellence mixed with pleasant company and nice weather. #APOL1 #FSGS #rFSGS #genetics #pediatrics #NephSky #SkyNeph #Medsky

a specific skill I've developed over the past ~20 years is crafting responses to emails sent to me, but intended for that other Naomi Wolf

Large-scale kidney transcriptomics identified a 12-gene signature, including CLU and C3, predicting kidney failure in ANCA-associated vasculitis. Read more in #ASNJASN: kidney.pub/JASN0779#ASNJASN: @benoitbrilland.bsky.social

Fresh online on @natcomms.nature.com ! Great collaboration with the lead team at GharaviLab / CPMG. Large exome-wide analysis that points to many findings, including two novel genes: ARID3A and NR6A1. #CAKUT #humangenetics #development #pediatrics #NephSky #SkyNeph www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Amazing! New species = new DNA to sequence = new knowledge = new breakthroughs at the horizon . Science won’t stop

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes go.nature.com/4lxMnph

As the world moves on, the FARM WORKER community does not. Listen to the pain of broken promises from a country that they’ve given their lives & bodies to. They’re calling on YOU to withhold your money for 3 days as they pause their labor. #FarmworkersStrike4Dignity

The historic Columbia Renal Biopsy Course is ON! Do not miss it! Also, with a little participation from myself to talk about #APOL1 kidney disease web.cvent.com/event/c5d72a...

That’s right! Scientists are constantly distracted , and now much more, by quacks who confound opinions with facts

Molecules from 20-million-year-old rhino-relative teeth are among the oldest ever sequenced go.nature.com/3GwHjlY

A glimmer of hope?

Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ancient Egyptian https://go.nature.com/44O0Sze

Climate change isn’t real but the machine from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is. You gotta love the MAGA brain.

New work from the lab trying to wrap our heads around the massive complexity of the human transcriptome revealed by long-read RNA-seq! Fun collab with Gloria Sheynkman. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nice video! From the 15th #PodocyteConference in #Hamburg @isgd.bsky.social @tobias-b-huber.bsky.social #FSGS #rFSGS #APOL1 #NephSky #MedSky youtube.com/watch?v=Y6wo...

🌟 Honored to present “Generative AI and Chatbot Application in Critical Care Nephrology” at the 43rd Vicenza Course – AKI-CRRT-EBPT in June 2025 🇮🇹 This was a transformative opportunity to share how Generative #AI is reshaping critical care nephrology

After random seating permutations and precise “single-human” clustering, here the ASN young investigator, mid career, and Homer Smith awards … of course with the queen in the middle ❤️ @asnkidney.bsky.social @ksusztak.bsky.social @rkramann.bsky.social @isgd.bsky.social #podocyteconference

Italy! Spain! The Caribbean! Brazil! Australia!

That’s brilliant, but unfortunately they won’t even understand simple satire and that’s exactly what they’ll do, sit there doing nothing , cowardly complicit

Alternative splicing and polyadenylation matter for Glomerular Disease! Great work by @shipraagarwal.bsky.social #FSGS #rFSGS #podocyte @asnkidney.bsky.social @asnpublications.bsky.social pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40397520/

Computer algorithms have designed highly efficient synthetic enzymes from scratch https://go.nature.com/43PmE5s

Case reports have a lot to offer. They give the opportunity to explore unique presentations that many times have helped generating broader hypotheses that inspired new discoveries. If you have interesting cases, Glomerular Diseases is your home karger.com/gdz/article/... @isgd.bsky.social #FSGS

At the #PodocyteConference you don’t meet only great scientists, but also interesting personalities, like Brian Kennedy, 4-times Grammy award winner and patient advocate. With Matt Sampson & Elena Martinelli #NephSky #SkyNeph @kidneyomicsamps.bsky.social #FSGS #rFSGS #APOL1 @isgd.bsky.social

One of the deepest and most elegant modern nephrologists! Congratulations! I wish these were normal times and you could fully enjoy this new building adventure rather than having to deal with demolition attempts from external forces. Be strong my friend and good luck ! @opeyemiolabisi.bsky.social

It truly was an amazing conference! #podocyteconference #Medsky #Nephsky #Skyneph #FSGS #rFSGS #APOL1 @isgd.bsky.social @tobias-b-huber.bsky.social

Funny story! This started >20y ago when we recruited a IgAN family from Italy. As a young renal fellow, I asked the site physician to send me the urine studies for all first-degree family members, and found myself with 14 containers of full 24h collections shipped in a 8ftx8ft box..

Huh oh! Genetics entering the world of clinical trials!! Great paper !! #genetics @natureportfolio.nature.com

Thank you @wisit661.bsky.social ! And nice to meet you in beautiful Cagliari :)

It’s not just working and giving talks at the 7th International Renal Meeting with @mayoclinic.org in #Sardinia #FSGS #rFSGS #CAKUT #RareDisease #APOL1 #NephSky #SkyNeph #MedSky

Great to see @alessiafornoni.bsky.social and Pars in #Cagliari for the 7th renal meeting with @mayoclinic.org in #Sardinia #FSGS #rFSGS #CAKUT #RareDisease #APOL1 #NephSky #SkyNeph #MedSky

These are definitely record performances :(

Thank you to Mike Eadon for sharing this video on bipartisan support to #NIH and federal funding. A little ray of hope in this gloomy scientific sky. Put it at 1.5X and listen for an uplifting message about shared values. #Nephsky #Medsky www.appropriations.senate.gov/hearings/bio...

Happy #NYC spring. Times are hard, but we are strong and we shall overcome. #family #nephsky #medsky

Very cool! Every gene, every RNA, every protein identified as linked to disease, is a drug target. Choose the best strategy, this is PROTACS: enabling fateful encounters to tether disease-associated proteins directly in human cells to an enzyme that tags the protein for destruction.
