| | |  | | NEWSLETTER ::: NO. 17 ::: DEC 2018 | | CAS/DAS IN TRANSLATIONAL NEPHROLOGY: MODULES 3 & 4 | | This programme provides relevant insights into the physiological and pathophysiological bases of kidney function in health and disease. | The NCCR Kidney.CH offers this e-learning programme in collaboration with the Health Science eTraining Foundation (HSeT).
On October 18, 2018, module 3 ‘Calcium and phosphate homeostasis’ had its return session at the University of Bern. More than 20 young scientists from all over Switzerland presented their work in front of a panel of experts from the NCCR Kidney.CH. As a final task, the students worked on a clinical case and completed the associated assignments both individually and in small groups. All participants passed the exams with good to excellent results, with grades ranging from 4.8 to 5.4.
The day after, on October 19, 2017, the fourth module ‘ Oxygen homeostasis’ started with a kick-off meeting. The participants listened to the presentations of Prof. Roland Wenger (University of Zurich), who talked about ‘Oxygen regulation of Epo production’, and Prof. Vartan Kurtcuoglu (University of Zurich), who focused on the ‘Physics of gases and oxygen distribution in the kidney’. The return session with the final assessment of module 4 will take place on April 4, 2019.
