The first edition of the Renal Disorders Talent Award was held at the Radboud Research Round last week.



Four young scientists of the Renal disorders theme were selected to present their 2017 publication by a short oral presentation. Subsequently, the audience scored the four presentations based on scientific and societal impact, presentation skills and handling of questions by means of a digital scoring system.

The winning talk was given by Nils Rother, Dept. of Nephrology (left on the picture) and was entitled: “Acetylated histones in apoptotic microparticles drive the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps in active lupus nephritis” (Published in Frontiers in Immunology, September 2017)
