| | |  | | NEWSLETTER ::: NO. 19 ::: NOV 2019 | | COLLABORATION WITH THE DIVISION OF NEPHROLOGY | | Since its beginnings the NCCR Kidney.CH has enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with the Division of Nephrology at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ). | Several physician-scientists of the Division have pursued projects with researchers from the NCCR and have received substantial financial support thanks to the network.
An important aspect of this has been the academic development of talented young investigators interested in kidney research. Among them is Pietro Cippà, who is currently an affiliate of the NCCR Kidney.CH. He has been a research and a clinical assistant for several years at the Division of Nephrology USZ, obtaining his title of MD-PhD while working in the laboratory of Thomas Fehr. Later on he became a nephrology subspecialist while training in the clinical part of the Division. In his interview in the current newsletter, Pietro tells us more about his academic journey and his research interests.
The Division of Nephrology at USZ is a proud partner of the NCCR Kidney.CH, providing a platform for clinical research in the field of kidney pathophysiology and facilitating the interaction of researchers from the field of basic science with clinical researchers. We hope that many more such projects will follow, and that the field of kidney research will advance successfully through such an interdisciplinary approach.
