Summer Scholar Katka Trachtova at KPMP

PCEN 2023 Summer Scholar Katka Trachtova recently attended the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, on a travel grant awarded by the KPMP.  She presented her work in a poster session with early career investigators. The poster was titled ‘Generating a Pediatric Single-cell and Spatial Kidney Atlas’ where she shared her progress on the project, interesting findings thus far, and how KPMP’s previous work has aided hers. The KPMP is a NIDDK-funded project with the purpose of understanding and finding new ways to treat chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury in adults. Katka is working to apply similar technologies to the pediatric population.
