Department of Medicine Weekly Roundup - May 22 - Department of Medicine Congratulates Dr. Darren Yuen and Team!
Natalie Wong, on behalf of the Department of Medicine extends warm congratulations to Dr. Darren Yuen and his research team on the acceptance of their manuscript in Science Translational Medicine!
The paper, titled “Podocyte YAP and TAZ hyperactivation drives glomerular epithelial proliferative diseases in mice and humans,” was led by lab manager Xiaolin He, with significant contributions from nephrology trainees Paraish Misra and Caitriona McEvoy. We’re proud to share that Paraish will be starting a faculty position at McGill Nephrology this fall, and Caitriona is currently faculty at Trinity College Dublin.
This exciting project was initially supported by philanthropic funding from the SMH Foundation, which helped launch the work and secure CIHR funding in later stages.
Congratulations again to Dr. Yuen and his team on this exceptional achievement!
