2024 cohort KL2 scholars

Congratulations to Dr. Benjamin Lidgard, acting assistant professor (Nephrology) who has joined the 2024 cohort of scholars for the ITHS KL2 Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program.

His research focuses on lipid molecule metabolism as a cardiovascular risk factor in patients with kidney disease.

The support of the KL2 program will allow him to further develop the essential skills in translational science required for his career goal of investigating cardiovascular disease in patients with kidney disease as an independent physician-scientist.
