Anuja Java, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at WashU Nephrology, will once again head the Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Workshop to be held during Kidney Week 2024, the American Society of Nephrology’s (ASN) annual meeting, in San Diego, CA.
The workshop will feature talks and in-depth panel discussions on “Genetic and Functional Testing in TMA” as well as a discussion of “Novel Therapies for TMA.” This informative and collaborative session will take place on October 22, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, 1 Market Place, San Diego, CA 92101.
“This workshop is a unique opportunity for professionals to engage with leading experts in the field and discuss the future of TMA genetics, treatment and research,” says Dr. Java. See agenda below.
A renowned physician-scientist, Dr. Java is Director of Kidney Transplant at the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis, MO, and is an expert in rare complement diseases and their involvement in kidney damage. She was the driving force behind the inaugural TMA Workshop in 2023.
The event is conducted in collaboration with the US Thrombotic Microangiopathy Consortium (USTMA), a nonprofit organization that strives to improve outcomes in thrombotic microangiopathies through observational studies, clinical trials of novel therapies, and translational research. Java was recently invited to join the Board of Directors of the USTMA consortium.
The event will be hybrid, so both in-person and virtual attendance options are available. Seats are limited, so please RSVP by October 10th, 2024 to secure your spot.
