Nephrology Grand Rounds are the primary teaching conference of the Division of
Nephrology. Both clinical and basic science topics pertinent to nephrology are
presented at this conference. Each fellow, guided by a faculty-mentor, will
present once a year. Speakers from outside the Division of Nephrology and Duke
University will also be incorporated into the conference schedule.
Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
** 6-6:30pm, Curators' Walk-Through

Join us for the closing reception of "Disobedient Subjects: Bombay 1930-31," an exhibition presented by the Duke Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) and The Alkazi Foundation for the Arts, curated by Duke History Department faculty Avrati Bhatnagar and Sumathi Ramaswamy.
Critical Care Grand Rounds occurs via Zoom on Thursdays from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST, and is led by Drs. Vijay Krishnamoorthy and Nazish Hashmi.
Two epigenomic targets that potentially link environmental exposures to chemical and physical agents early in development to adult disease susceptibility are imprinted genes and those with metastable epialleles. Genes with metastable epialleles, such as the Agouti locus in the agouti viable yellow (Avy) strain of mice, have highly variable functions because of stochastic allelic changes in the epigenome rather than mutations in the genome. Genomic imprinting is a unique epigenetic form of gene regulation that evolved about 150 million years ago in Therian mammals.
Talk title TBA.
