Project 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) strives to introduce undergraduate students with an interest in biomedical research to the exciting field of kidney research. Participants 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.

项目概要/摘要 肾脏疾病对美国医疗保健构成了日益严重的重大负担 系统。尽管肾脏疾病相关研究在我们的研究领域取得了重大进展 对导致急性或慢性肾功能不全的各种情况的了解很少 在寻找治疗方法方面已取得进展。研究人员集中精力、共同努力 需要实施以推进现有知识实现转化目标。这样的努力 将通过招募最优秀和最聪明的人才进入该领域来帮助。 UTSW 夏季 肾脏疾病研究本科研究所 (SURISKD) 致力于 向对生物医学研究感兴趣的本科生介绍令人兴奋的领域 肾脏研究。参与者花费 10 周的时间来了解肾脏和肾脏疾病 学习一些肾脏疾病相关的课程并在实验室进行相关研究 世界领先的肾脏疾病研究人员。该计划旨在揭露、教育、培训 并招募下一代肾脏疾病研究人员。
