The Ins & Outs of Kidneys: From Physiomics to Transplantation

This intensive one-week course is directed at inter/national (graduate) students (master & PhD level) who wish to develop their knowledge and skills on state‐of‐the‐art developments in the field of renal research. You will learn how insights from renal research transformed the treatment of various kidney diseases - from little hope of survival to the latest transplantation techniques. For talented post-docs this summer course could serve as a stepping stone towards an application for a Marie-Curie fellowship funded by the EU.
