The Sampson and Lee Labs had a great time at ASHG 2025! Grateful to share our research and explore impactful findings from across the genetics community. #ASHG2025 #Genomics #HumanGenetics

I am really sorry to hear this. Kidney disease remains a major cause of death with low awareness and very limited funding. We can do better in memory of Nick Mangold

Congrats to Katalin, a model for kidney physician-scientists globally. 🫘 🧬 🐭 🖥️

Truly humbled to be recognized by New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso as a Woman of Distinction. This honor means so much — not just to me, but to everyone who has been part of our journey. My HOPE is that others will be inspired to become living kidney donors #FSGS

Delighted to share my path and motivations as a trainee at both @BrighamWomens & @MassGeneralNews and now cardiologist-scientist @MassGenBrigham @broadinstitute @harvardmed https://t.co/rNddCJxr6Y @MassGenBrighCPD @MGBResearchNews

Dongwon Lee and I are excited to share research from our groups at #ASHG25 I'm lucky to have a partner like Dongwon with deep computational and genomics expertise to push forward our variety of #kidneyomics projects. Please come by and say hi

✨ This week’s team meeting had a new twist. Our newest members took the spotlight! Choah, Victoria, and Beomsu shared a few slides about their backgrounds, interests, and hobbies, giving us a chance to get to know them beyond the lab bench. We’re excited to have them on board!!

We’ve reached 319 participants in the BIGKiDs Study! 🎉 Each participant brings us closer to unlocking answers for nephrotic syndrome. Thank you for being part of the journey! 💙🧬 💙Be part of the discovery ➡️ https://t.co/w6SfFgkA20

Meet Victoria! Victoria joins us from Heidelberg University, Germany, where she studied Mathematics with a thesis in high-dimensional statistics applied to medical research. As a Visiting Researcher in the Lab, Victoria is investigating the genetic causes of nephrotic syndrome!🧬

Exciting updates!! (1) I just opened my lab at Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard-affiliated) (2) I’m hiring a postdoc focused on integrating GWAS and functional genomic data. Reach out if you’re interested or connect at ASHG next week! (3) Learn more at

Very grateful for the collaboration with @SCADalliance to advance understanding of SCAD with genetics research and make participation available nationwide via @gvascstudy 🫀🧬 Announcement: https://t.co/3Cq7yhdpgq Study website: https://t.co/11HI4Ld7ip

We're hiring a Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to join our cardiovascular prevention research team at @MGHHeartHealth @mghcvrc and the @broadinstitute Ideal candidate: - Thrives in patient-facing interactions - Organized, curious, and team-oriented - Excited by innovation

Check this out. #kidneyomics

The manuscript

Like many, I'm faced with having to resubmit a well scored RO1 (8th%ile to NIDDK on proteinuric kidney dz multiomics) My q: Can/should I share the A0 percentile in the 1 page intro to resubmission? Or is there a rule/convention against it? I can just share supportive quotes too.

So after 10 years, here’s my biggest lesson: teaching medicine isn't only about transmitting knowledge but also nurturing curiosity, bridging science to humanity, and inspiring the next generation to push the field forward. [8/8]

Congratulations to Kristen Gibson, a post-doctoral fellow in our lab, for two recent awards from the Canadian Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training Program and the Children’s Hospital of Philadephia Pediatric Center of Excellence in Nephrology Program!
