It is a distinct pleasure to be recognized by the @PKDFoundation for our work in neural control in PKD. It is a remarkably rewarding field of research, and we can't wait to see where our studies lead! If you have any questions on the science - you know where to find me! #EndPKD

Meet PKD researcher Christopher Banek, PhD. We sat down with him to discuss his ongoing work at Banek Laboratory, where he studies the role of peripheral sensory nerves in the development and maintenance of PKD. View now at youtu.be/wrON2M7whHU
