Southern California Kidney Journal Club
About
Join us at the Vito M Campese MD/UKRO Kidney Research Center of USC for our new Journal Club on Kidney Disease! This interactive forum brings together researchers, clinicians, and students for in-depth discussions on the latest advancements in kidney research. Each quarter, we will explore a new theme through a curated selection of high-impact articles, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange and critical analysis. Open to all interested in the forefront of kidney disease research and innovations. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with colleagues and deepen your understanding of the complex science behind kidney health and disease.
We meet on the first Tuesday of the month from 4-5pm PST.
Organizers: Jonathan Nelson (jnelson4@usc.edu) and Alicia McDonough (mcdonoug@usc.edu)
