NephMadness and Animal House

Modern medical education doesn’t explore comparative physiology very often. When it does, it never fails to be fresh and exciting.

On this episode of Freely Filtered, members of the filtrate examine the fascinating physiology of the Gila monster and the mourning dove. Listen to learn how these animals could provide insight on the pathogenesis of disease and even lead to novel therapeutic targets or therapies.

On this episode, the filtrate includes Joel Topf, MD, FACP; Swapnil Hiremath, MD, MPH; Sophia Ambruso, DO; Josh Waitzman, MD, PhD; and Kelly Hyndman, PhD.
