Penn-CHOP Kidney Innovation Center Inaugural Symposium

In an effort to improve the lives of children and adults with kidney disease, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Penn Medicine launched the Penn-CHOP Kidney Innovation Center (KIC). KIC is led by Michelle Denburg, MD, MSCE and Katalin Susztak, MD, PhD.

The center will focus on three main areas: fostering cutting-edge discoveries through collaboration between Penn and CHOP; recruiting and growing top talent to key areas that align with the center’s mission; and building the next generation of nephrology researchers through an enhanced training and mentorship program.

The center will promote a culture of cooperation, starting with this inaugural symposium, and other events that will be held throughout the year. This symposium will feature oral abstracts and keynote speakers: Parker Wilson, MD, PhD; Mingyao Li, PhD; and Alex Hughes, PhD.

We hope you'll join us for this kick-off event!
