Session Description
This session focuses on how the kidney assumes its form, which is essential for its physiological function.
Learning Objective(s)
- Define the principles underlying radial growth of the human kidney
- Describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling kidney organogenesis
Learning Pathway(s)
- Development and Pediatrics
- Genetic Diseases of the Kidneys
Moderators
- Jordan A. Kreidberg, MD, PhD

Ian Smyth, PhD
Professor Ian Smyth is an NH&MRC Senior Research Fellow at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He co-heads the Development and Stem Cells Program at the Monash Biomedicine Institute and is the Deputy Head (Research) of the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology. His doctoral studies at the University of Queensland focused on understanding the role of the PATCHED genes in human disease. He then undertook postdoctoral work in Edinburgh, Houston and London using forward genetic screens in mice to identify novel genes involved in skin and kidney development and disease. His group’s work focuses on two specific questions: how development of the fetal renal collecting duct system is impacted by genetic mutation and environmental perturbation and how disruption of signaling in these cells in the adult kidney gives rise to cysts in ciliopathy patients.

Indra R. Gupta, MD
Dr. Indra R. Gupta is a clinician-scientist and pediatric nephrologist. She is Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McGill University and an Associate Member in the Departments of Human Genetics and Experimental Medicine. Her laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that result in congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract with a special interest in vesico-ureteric reflux. She is currently Interim Director of Child Health Research at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre.
