Location: The Catalyst, Newcastle

The first Renal Ciliopathies National Network (CILIAREN) workshop was held in Newcastle on 9th February, bringing together the MRC NIHR UK Rare Disease Research Network platform nodes focusing on renal ciliopathies (CILIAREN) and urinary tract disorders (REOLUT) . Prof Ronald Roepman (Chair of Molecular Biology of Ciliopathies, Radboud University Medical Centre, NL) was our distinguished keynote speaker delivering a talk entitled ‘Protein interaction analysis to decipher ciliopathies’. The early career researchers showcased their science, with a focus on renal ciliopathies and urinary tract disorders. The workshop was interactive, with opportunities to form new collaborations and cross Node working. Great discussions on science to help kidney patients.
