The NCCR Kidney.CH offers this e-learning programme in collaboration with the Health Science eTraining Foundation (HSeT).
About 20 young scientists from all over Switzerland listened to presentations from Prof. François Verrey (University of Zurich), who talked about amino acids, kidney size and urinary concentration, and Prof. Reto Krapf (Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna, Lucerne) who focused on the physiological effects of variations in dietary potassium intake. Prof. Jean-Pierre Montani (University of Fribourg) complemented the lecture with a talk on markers of renal function and evolution with age.
As part of the module the participants are currently studying annotated articles on oxygen homeostasis via the e-learning platform of the Integrative Kidney Physiology and Pathophysiology (IKPP) programme. In addition, tutors will provide them with questions and exercises that need to be answered and executed, respectively. On March 2, 2017 the participants will present their work to a panel of experts from the NCCR Kidney.CH. |
