NephMadness 2017 has 32 nephrology concepts
divided across 8 different topic areas, called regions. Each region has
4 concepts which compete against each other in a single elimination
tournament. We have selected content experts from each topic to help us
determine the best concepts and vet the information we provide to make
sure it is accurate, unbiased, and interesting. The selection committee
includes:
- Biomedical Research: Benjamin D. Humphreys | @HumphreysLab
- Diabetic Nephropathy Region: Anna Burgner | @annaburgner
- Dialysis Region: Jonathan Himmelfarb | @xpotasn
- Disparities Region: L. Ebony Boulware | @ebonyboulware
- Genetics Region: Matthew G. Sampson | @kidneyomicsamps
- Glomerulonephritis Region: Richard J. Glassock
- History Region: Neil Turner | @neilturn
- Nutrition Region: Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh | @kamyarkalantarz
