It is a distinct pleasure to be recognized by the @PKDFoundation for our work in neural control in PKD. It is a remarkably rewarding field of research, and we can't wait to see where our studies lead! If you have any questions on the science - you know where to find me! #EndPKD.

Do you like kidneys? How about art? How about PRIZES?! If the answer is yes to all (or any of the above), consider submitting your best work to APS Renal #sciart competition! Brownie points if you include afferent nerves in that image :).
