Hear about the latest Wales Kidney Research Unit (WKRU) research from lab work to social care.

The WKRU would like to encourage you to submit a poster of your work to present during the lunchtime break. Please let the team know if you intend to. There will be a £100 prize for best poster. The WKRU can also help printing it if you don't have any allocated budget for this. Please don't hesitate to contact the team about it.
