This four and a half day annual workshop is held on the UCSD/VASDHCS campus. Led by Dr. Volker Vallon, faculty from UCSD and UAB organize an annual workshop designed to practice animal handling and phenotyping techniques for commonly used methods to study kidney function in the rat and mouse. The format includes lectures (about 2 hours a day), demonstrations and hand-on practical training (about 6 hours a day). Participants receive a detailed workshop folder including all workstation handouts and lecture slides. This workshop is limited to 9 participants for the maximum interaction and time for training and discussion.
The 12th workshop will be held from May 12 - 16, 2025 focusing on hands-on whole kidney and single nephron function analysis and models of acute and chronic kidney disease. Please contact Dr. Volker Vallon (vvallon@ucsd.edu) for information on next workshop.
Previous participants include: graduate students, postdocs, research assistants, research associates, scientists, and faculty from 63 institutions from 13 countries (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Japan, Netherlands, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Switzerland and the USA).
