In 2011, The PKD Foundation is supporting the FASEB Summer Research Conference on Renal Cystic Disease. This will be the third FASEB conference specifically focused on PKD; earlier meetings were held in 2005 and 2008. This conference brings together leading researchers from all over the world and young scientists new to the field to discuss the latest research findings in PKD. Peter Harris from Mayo Clinic and Jim Calvet from University of Kansas Medical Center are co-chairing the conference.
