The Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute recently named Vidhi Dalal, MD, a K12 scholar.
Dr. Dalal, a pediatric nephrologist at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, investigates nephrotic syndrome and podocyte disorders that affect a large subset of children with kidney disease. Through this research she seeks to better understand podocyte biology and inform the development of new therapeutics for more effective treatment of podocyte disorders.
The NUCATS Mentored Research Career Development Program in Clinical and Translational Science (K12, formerly KL2) is a National Center for Advancing Translational Science-sponsored career development award supporting early-career faculty at Northwestern University and designed to train investigators to drive future innovation and implement effective clinical and translational research.
