How has the recognition from the ERA Awards affected your career trajectory and opportunities for collaboration?

Since receiving the ERA Eberhard Ritz Award, I have been invited to speak at international meetings, have progressed to more influential roles within international research groups, taken on a new editorial position and successfully obtained funding for a new research programme. I have met a lot of inspiring people who have encouraged and mentored me to take these steps. I intend now to pay this support forward to the next generations of young nephrologists.

Can you share any upcoming projects or goals you have in mind that continue to stimulate the dialogue between education and research in your field?

I will soon start a project that will explore to what degree variability in kidney function estimation affects eligibility, efficacy, and safety of cancer treatments. In time, I hope this work will improve understanding of the imprecise nature of kidney function estimation, and drive improvements in the way kidney function is considered outside nephrology: by oncologists, in clinical cancer trials and beyond.
