Researchers Share Innovations at Uremia Therapy Workshop<br />
Twenty-five researchers came together at an invitation-only<br />
workshop at <strong>Cleveland</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> in May to showcase and discuss<br />
advances in artificial kidney research. Engineers, biologists,<br />
clinicians and opinion leaders in the dialysis industry shared<br />
insights on the growing problem of end-stage renal disease and<br />
expensive dialysis treatment. The three-day workshop featured<br />
sessions on clinical data, the biology of uremia, engineering<br />
components of uremia therapy, and integrating new technology<br />
into therapy.<br />

for a research team working with a NIH grant to design a<br />
next-generation renal therapy to replace dialysis (see article,<br />
