THE CLINICAL TRIALS SUMMIT TEAM

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

Hosted by the International Society of Glomerular Disease (ISGD) in partnership with the renowned nephrology and clinical trials leadership team of the University of Texas Medical Branch, the Clinical Trials Innovation Summit delivers an expertly curated platform that fuses scientific rigor, operational excellence, and hands-on engagement for attendees.

ISGD’s recent stewardship of the acclaimed 15th International Podocyte Conference, praised by faculty and attendees for its seamless integration of basic, translational, and clinical content as well as unparalleled community building, is a direct template for the Clinical Trials Innovation Summit. The Podocyte Conference’s sold-out attendance, sophisticated logistics, and highly rated science underscore ISGD’s ability to convene world leaders, innovate session formats, and maximize value for all participants.
