Can we target inflammation to slow PKD progression?

Dr Brooke Huuskes is a Senior Lecturer at La Trobe University in Melbourne. Emily Major is a researcher and student ambassador, completing her PhD under Dr Brooke's supervision. In 2023, Emily was the recipient of The Pamela Maud Ratcliff PKD PhD Scholarship' grant, co-funded by PKD Australia and Australian Rotary Health.
For two years, Brooke and Emily have been trying to understand how the immune system contributes to kidney cyst growth as well as high blood pressure in PKD. In this webinar, Brooke and Emily will share:
• why they decided to look into the immune response in PKD
• how the study was conducted
• the current results of the study
• take-home messages, and
• future directions of their upcoming research
