Sampson Lab for Kidney Genomics @TheSampsonLab

Genomic medicine helps researchers look deeper into how DNA may influence health and disease. It does not replace clinical care or provide every answer right away, but it helps researchers ask more precise questions and study patterns that may lead to new insights.

Every sample helps researchers learn more. The BIGKiDs Study uses biosamples and health information from patients and families to better understand the genomic factors that may contribute to nephrotic syndrome and other proteinuric kidney diseases.

🔬🌍 Clinical Trials Day – May 20 Today, we recognize the power of clinical research to transform patient care and celebrate the medical breakthroughs achieved through clinical trials. The ISN is advancing kidney health globally by supporting high-quality clinical trials, especially in low- and middle-income countries through the ISN-Advancing Clinical Trials (ISN-ACT) initiative. By fostering global collaboration, connecting researchers, supporting patient engagement and providing practical trial resources and education, ISN-ACT is helping build a stronger, more inclusive future for nephrology research. Together, we can strengthen evidence-based kidney care and ensure more patients everywhere benefit from research and innovation. Learn more about the ISN-ACT initiative 👉 bit.ly/3PLOSd0 #ClinicalTrialsDay #KidneyHealth #Nephrology #ISNACT #GlobalHealth

Podocytopathies share a core problem: loss of podocyte autophagy, which leads to proteinuria. According to a #Review in #ASNKidney360, boosting autophagy can help, but current treatments are limited by side effects and sparse clinical data. kidney.pub/KID1152

Kidney disease impacts more than physical health; it also affects how people think, feel, and navigate everyday life. Supporting mental health is not separate from treating kidney disease; it’s part of it. #KidneyHealth #MentalHealthMatters #Nephrology #SampsonLab #BIGKiDsStudy

🧬 While there are tens of thousands of genes, only a portion directly code for proteins, the molecules that carry out essential functions in our cells. Understanding this helps us study how genetic variation impacts health and disease.
