Fighting kidney diseases involves research and publication, as much as working directly with patients. “Our academy hopes to help physicians and researchers to better communicate findings and move research in the field of nephrology forward more quickly and efficiently, ultimately benefitting patients, who can receive better, cutting-edge care as a result,” says Giuseppe Remuzzi who heads the Mario Negri Institute.

Remuzzi believes that last year’s edition was a real success for the researchers and scientists who attended especially “ in practical terms.” Many of the participants have stayed in contact and are trying to get joint research projects off the ground, continue to collaborate and write together.

Given its ongoing experience in the field, the institute remains the perfect point of reference for scientific writing training. Participants will be taken through the process of writing a manuscript and preparing it for submission by 2017. Tutor Martin de Borst’s personal experience of writing and working in the field make him perfect for this task.
