    Title: A journey of discovery into the renal regulation of potassium homeostasis: clues from development and disease
    Webinar Description: The physician-scientist is uniquely positioned to identify a clinical question, and then perform biomedical investigations that allow discoveries to be translated into clinical applications that improve health outcomes. This webinar will focus on a journey of scientific discovery that emerged from a clinical observation, that of very high plasma potassium concentrations in the premature newborn. Bench and translational efforts led to novel insight into the ontogeny of renal epithelial transport, with unexpected outcomes opening new areas of inquiry that have enabled the story to continue to evolve.
