Translational Session
Expanding the Diagnostic Toolbox for Kidney Biopsy
October 26, 2024 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Room 6A, Convention Center
Session Description
The field of kidney pathology is undergoing transformation, driven in part by technological innovation that allows for new insight into the pathogenesis and diagnosis of kidney diseases. Impacts felt on the front lines include the transition from glass slides to digitized imaging, increasing use of mass spectroscopy, potential of artificial intelligence to assist in daily practice, and use of transcriptomics in kidney biopsies. This session seeks to explore where we currently are with the use of these technologies and their potential use in discovery and clinical practice.
