Project Title: Podocyte Inflammation Accelerates Parietal Epithelial Cell Injury in the Aged Kidney
Yuting describes her research in one sentence: My research focuses on using novel open microfluidic coculture platforms to investigate the intercellular crosstalk between injured podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs) in the events of aging and glomerulosclerosis.

ASN Kidney TREKS Program
Tutored Research and Education for Kidney Scholars
Huge congratulations to our PhD Student, Yuting Zeng for her
acceptance to the 2022 course!
The TREKS program will be held in the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) in Bar
Harbor, ME. ASN will cover room, board, and tuition for Yuting to attend, as well as $500 in travel
support. Yuting will also be invited to become a Kidney STARS member, with complimentary
registration to ASN Kidney Week in Orlando, FL, and $1,000 in travel support to attend the conference.
Great job Yuting!!
Congratulations Dr. Shankland!
