On October 19, 2017, module 1 with the topic “Salt and Water Transport” ended and had its return session at the University of Bern. About 25 young scientists from all over Switzerland presented their work in front of a panel of experts from the NCCR Kidney.CH. To prepare for their presentation they had studied annotated articles on mechanism, regulation and diseases of renal sodium and water handling.
One day after the presentations, the second module on “Acid-base homeostasis” started. The participants listened during the kick-off meeting to the presentations of Prof. Carsten Wagner (University of Zurich), who talked about “acid-base homeostasis” and Dr. Nilufar Mohebbi (University Hospital Zurich) who focused on “Clinical aspects of acid-base disorders”. The return session with the final assessment of module 2 takes place on April 5, 2018. Module 3 with the topic ”Tubular handling of divalent cations and disorders of biomineralization” will start on April 6, 2018.
