Basic/Clinical Science Session

Decoding AKI: The Omics Revolution

November 08, 2025 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 362A, Convention Center

Session Description

New technologies such as spatial transcriptomics and Dyna-vivo-seq have enabled tracking real-time gene expression changes at the single-cell level. These technological breakthroughs, combined with proteomic analysis, have uncovered how kidney tubular cells adapt to injury and orchestrate repair mechanisms, providing a comprehensive landscape at the molecular level. This session reviews and discusses crucial insights into kidney injury and repair and advances understanding of renal pathophysiology.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Discuss the power of RNA sequencing technology in discovering molecular mechanisms of injury and repair
  • Describe the transcriptional re-programming that occurs during host and microbe interactions
  • Identify dynamic changes in tubular gene expression patterns following a massive glomerular protein filtration load
  • Describe the proteomic landscape of injured kidneys

Learning Pathway(s)

  • AKI and Critical Care
  • Kidney Biology and Physiology
