Katalin Susztak accepting the Homer W. Smith Award. #KidneyWk

👏Huge congratulations to my fantastic mentor @ksusztak.bsky.social for receiving the 2025 ASN Homer Smith award.

Super-proud of my amazing wife @ksusztak.bsky.social, a real trailblazer scientist, a newly-elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, and the recipient of the Homer W Smith award from the American Society of Nephrology. It was great celebrating with you in Houston at #KidneyWk.

Congratulations to @ksusztak.bsky.social (@pennmedicine.bsky.social/ @penngenetics.bsky.social/ @chopresearch.bsky.social) on her election to the National Academy of Medicine! Learn more about Dr. Susztak & her research here➡️ www.med.upenn.edu/susztaklab/ #PSOMatNAM @nam.edu

Congratulations @ksusztak.bsky.social and Gerd Blobel (not on Bluesky)!!!

Thank you !

Congratulations and welcome to the 100 new members elected today to the National Academy of Medicine! #NAMmtg nam.edu/news-and-ins...

program for thursday at kidney wk including 2 LBCTs and Vlado P talking on RCTs and curing kidney disease

The opening plenary at #KidneyWk looks phenomenal

Renal RCT Renaissance is upon us

Our updated APOL1 manuscript just went live on #bioRxiv – perfectly timed with #APOL1AwarenessDay (April 29). We've sharpened our hypothesis and focused the supporting evidence for a clearer story.
