🩵 Nephrotic syndrome can look very different in kids vs. adults. 📊 Understanding these differences is key to early detection and better care.#KidneyHealth #NephroticSyndrome #PediatricCare #Nephrology #sampsonlab #raredisease
Congratulations to Kristen Gibson, a post-doctoral fellow in our lab, for two recent awards from the Canadian Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training Program and the Children’s Hospital of Philadephia Pediatric Center of Excellence in Nephrology Program!
Your kidneys filter 50 gallons of blood every single day. Drinking enough water helps support kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney stones and other complications. So yes, staying hydrated? It’s a love letter to your kidneys.#sampsonlab #kidneyhelalth #nephrology
Dr. Sampson’s lab is leading the Data Science curriculum for research fellows who are part of the NIH Training Grant. Michelle McNulty and Kristen Gibson are kicking it off with a two-class series on the fundamentals of R. It’s so exciting that even Dr. Bonventre is taking it!
Not all research studies mean lab coats and hospital visits. Some start with a simple question... and a shipping label. 💡 Think you need to live in Boston to participate? 💡 Think research is only for scientists? 🔗 Learn more at www.sampsonlab/getinvolved.com
Today, we’re spotlighting two common changes to the kidney filters (glomeruli) that cause nephrotic syndrome, especially in children and young adults: Minimal Change Disease (MCD) & Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) #NephroticSyndrome #KidneyHealth #MCD #FSGS
What is nephrotic syndrome, and what’s actually causing it? Nephrotic syndrome isn’t one disease; it’s a group of symptoms caused by damage to the kidney’s filters. Follow along as we break down the most common root causes of nephrotic syndrome one post at a time.
The first 4–6 weeks of treatment help doctors understand how a child’s body is responding to steroids. This early response helps determine if the nephrotic syndrome is steroid-sensitive or steroid-resistant, a key step in guiding next steps for care.
On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Dongwon Lee, Principal Investigator, share his experience at the 2025 Gordon Research Conference on Human Genetics and Genomics in Portland, ME. We’re always proud to see our team contributing to such impactful scientific spaces!
The line between MCD and FSGS isn’t always obvious. Both can cause nephrotic syndrome, but the body’s response to steroid treatment helps tell them apart. This is why treatment response and sometimes biopsy results are so important. #NephroticSyndrome #sampsonlab #raredisease
Today, our intern Aaheli gave her final presentation during lab meeting. It was great to see how she evaluated gene variants to help determine whether they were benign or pathogenic. We’ll miss her and wish her all the best as she begins her first semester at UMASS this fall!
Last week, Dr. Dongwon Lee represented the lab at the 2025 Gordon Research Conference on Human Genetics and Genomics in Portland, Maine. This year’s theme focused on bridging gaps between statistical, molecular, and clinical genetics, something at the heart of our work.
Every trial, every study, every sample matters. Because behind the data, there are real people, real families, and real futures at stake. #research #raredisease #sampsonlab #genomics #MedicalResearch #ScienceToSolutions #BIGKiDsStudy #nephroticsyndrome #NephrologyResearch
Your kidneys are working hard for you every day, every hour. Return the favor with these small habits that lead to lifelong health. 💬 Which of these do you already do? Which one could you start this week? #KidneyFacts #HealthyKidneys #NephrologyTips #BIGKiDsStudy #sampsonlab
Our summer interns are finishing up at the end of July, and it's been great having them around the lab. From helping with current projects to fostering new collaborations, they've been a big part of the team these past few months. We'll miss having them around!
We’re proud to team up with The Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation, a nonprofit supporting families impacted by nephrotic syndrome 💛 It’s a pleasure to stand alongside a mission so deeply rooted in empathy, advocacy, and action. Get involved at nephroticsyndromefoundation.org
