Kidney patient. Need more innovation in kidney care. Bring dialysis into the 21st century. Make tomorrow’s kidney care unrecognizable from today’s.
How many dialysis patients just celebrated their last Thanksgiving?
Let's drive that number lower every year.
...with a Nephrology united by fierce ambition, tight timelines, and transparent metrics to light up the field and its patients with a dialysis that is always better.

Let's have a vision for dialysis technology - "Always better." Repeated at every new fellows orientation, professional gathering, and investor presentation.

Up very late reading a Harvard case study on how Target ALS, a disease where little progress had been made in 100 years, brought vision ("everyone lives"), funding, and broke down silos to supercharge innovation.
Let's do the same for kidney health.

The Sunday plenary xenotransplantation session at #KidneyWk is worth watching on YouTube.
In addition to so many exciting developments, glad to hear the patient voice is helping drive innovation forward.

“Everyone Lives” - Target ALS documentary worth watching.
Three operating principles:
• Impatient Optimism (urgency + belief)
• Deliberate Disruption (break what’s broken)
• Radical Collaboration (dissolve silos)
Time to get deliberately impatient about kidney health.

Great #KidneyWk. Exciting developments in pharma and transplantation. But here’s what keeps me up: dialysis innovation has barely moved. It’s the third leg of the stool, and we’re pretending a two-legged stool is stable. Time to get serious about breakthrough dialysis technology.

Surprised when basic science kidney researchers at #KidneyWk tell me they rarely talk with kidney patients. We need to flip this. Show researchers the real lives their work impacts. Motivation isn’t abstract — it’s human. Let’s build those connections systematically.

Excellent #KidneyWk presentation by @glombandit.bsky.social on why kidney biopsies still matter in membranous nephropathy. Plus the integration of rigorous clinical thinking with her kidney artwork. Well done.

What if we built nephrology from scratch today?
Not tweaked it. Not optimized the current system. Not made dialysis 3% better or transplant waitlists slightly shorter.
Started over. Clean sheet of paper. 2025 tools. 2025 thinking.
