ASN Kidney Week is the world’s premier nephrology meeting, bringing together thousands of kidney professionals from around the globe. Hosted by the American Society of Nephrology (ASN), this annual event features cutting-edge research, clinical breakthroughs, and dynamic educational sessions that shape the future of kidney care. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or trainee, Kidney Week offers unparalleled opportunities to learn, connect, and advance the field of nephrology.

Each year, investigators from our 7 O'Brien National Resource Centers come together to showcase the Consortium’s resources, technologies, and expertise. Talk to an OKRA representative to learn more about connecting with researchers, exploring the services we offer, and sparking new partnerships to advance kidney health.

This year, please be sure to pick up an OKRA GUMBO bingo card from one of our National Coordinating Center (NRC) representatives to learn more about the Alliance and earn swag! NRC representatives will be wearing “Ask Me About OKRA” buttons and will be available to answer questions about the resources and services provided by their institution. Our travel awardees will be presenting their research as well, and can be identified by a “OKRA Travel Awardee” sticker by their posters.

Feel free to reach out to okrancc@uab.edu with any questions.
