UTSW Summer Undergraduate Research Institute for the Study of Kidney Diseases

摘要/摘要 肾脏疾病构成了美国医疗保健系统的一个重大的、日益增加的负担。虽然 与肾脏疾病相关的研究在我们对各种情况的理解上取得了重大进展。 虽然这会导致急性或慢性肾功能不全，但在寻找治疗方法方面进展甚微。聚焦, 需要实施研究人员的共同努力，将当前的知识转化为 目标。这些努力将通过招募最优秀和最聪明的人才进入这一领域而得到帮助。UTSW的夏天 肾脏病本科研究所(SURISKD)将努力引入 对生物医学研究感兴趣的本科生转向令人兴奋的肾脏研究领域。 参与者将通过参加和的课程，用10周的时间学习肾脏和肾脏疾病 在一些领先的肾脏疾病研究人员的实验室进行与肾脏疾病相关的研究 整个世界。这一计划旨在揭露、教育、培训和招募未来一代的肾脏疾病。 研究人员。

Summary/Abstract Kidney disease constitutes a significant, increasing burden on the United States healthcare system. Although kidney disease related research has made significant advances on our understanding of the various conditions that lead to acute or chronic renal insufficiency, little progress has been made towards finding cures. Focused, concerted efforts by researchers need to be implemented to advance current knowledge towards translational goals. Such efforts will be aided by recruiting the best and brightest minds into this field. The UTSW Summer Undergraduate Research Institute for the Study of Kidney Diseases (SURISKD) will strive towards introducing undergraduate students with an interest in biomedical research to the exciting field of kidney research. Participants will spend 10 weeks learning about the kidney and kidney disease by taking courses from and performing kidney disease related research in the labs of some of the leading kidney disease researchers in the world. This program seeks to expose, educate, train and recruit the future generation of kidney disease researchers.
