Research Projects
Student Research Program
Club members have an opportunity to engage in research initiatives through the Student Research Program (SRP). Members gain valuable research experience and earn both upper division (SRP-199) and lower division (SRP-99) course credit while developing research presentations and papers. Previous SRP projects encompassed a variety of topics regarding kidney disease and kidney-related diseases, such as Lupus Nephritis, IgA Nephropathy, Fabry’s Disease, and APOL1 genetics.
