Translational Session
Bringing Precision Medicine to Dialysis Care, Including the Garabed Eknoyan, MD, Endowed Lectureship
October 23, 2026 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Room 501, Convention Center
Session Description
There is growing interest in making dialysis care more individualized, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach.
