Join us for the 2023 Research Symposium!
The Research Symposium will bring together PKD researchers in both ADPKD and ARPKD, including the Foundation’s grantees and fellows. This year, we’re offering an opportunity to attend in person or virtually.
Attendees will learn about the latest developments in PKD research, connect with others in the PKD community, and hear from the 2023 Kaplan awardee.
