Description
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) contributes to 1.7 million deaths annually. Its societal burden extends even further since surviving patients may develop chronic kidney disease and even require dialysis. In 2020, the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) established the AKINow initiative, aiming to promote excellence in the prevention and treatment of AKI. Herein, we describe the ongoing projects developed by the AKINow Basic Science Workgroup:
- Education in Data Science
Democratization of data access and data science literacy have the potential of driving medical innovation and improving quality of care for patients. Our group has assisted the ASN in organizing the "Leveraging Data Science to Improve Kidney Health" session to be held during Kidney Week 2022. This session will explore how advances in big data have improved clinical care and how multi-omics approaches have uncovered therapeutic targets in the field of AKI. In parallel, our workgroup is organizing a data science bootcamp series for the coming year. This "hands-on" initiative aims to teach the basics of data analysis with different softwares through instructor-led learning, interactive dataset-based learning and student-student interaction.
- An Open Access Omics Data Warehouse
Multi-omics approaches are among the most valuable resources available to identify novel disease markers and therapeutic targets in AKI. We are developing an AKI multi-omics repository, made globally available by ASN, which will facilitate a collaborative and interactive research community and improve scientific quality on a global scale.
- An Open Access Journal Club
The first basic science-focused AKI journal club is scheduled for the coming fall. We will utilize ASN’s webinar format to hold sessions hosted and moderated by members of AKINow. We believe that by disseminating state-of-the-art research in AKI and encouraging debate, this open-access journal club can lead to education, improved critical thinking and new collaborations in the field.
In conclusion, our efforts have been directed towards knowledge dissemination, data science literacy and data access democratization in the field of AKI, which together, have the potential of fostering innovation and decreasing the societal burden of AKI.
