Seminar: Fibrosis does not aggravate injury and atrophy of uninjured tubules after acute kidney injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the underlying mechanisms of AKI-CKD transition are incompletely understood. In order to gain further insights into AKI pathology, tracking the injured tissue is of great value and can unravel the cellular interactions involved. These findings contribute to identifying potential targets and therapeutic options to limit and prevent chronic kidney disease. 

Ina Maria Schiessl is an associate professor, group leader, and co-chair of the “Kidney, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases” research theme at the Department of Biomedicine at the Aarhus University (https://www.au.dk/en/ina.maria.schiessl@biomed.au.dk). She is conducting research dedicated to deciphering the mechanisms of progressive kidney disease using intravital 2-photon microscopy. She is also teaching pharmacology to students of medicine and during her visit to the UMM she will talk about her latest research on: 

Fibrosis does not aggravate injury and atrophy of uninjured tubules after acute kidney injury 

Date: Monday, 19^th May
Time: 1.30 pm
Location: House 42, Lecture Hall 7
Host: Prof. Dr. Andreas Linkermann, Chair of the 5th Department of Medicine 

This seminar will be of particular interest to medical students and researchers interested in translational research, kidney diseases and microscopy.
