Santa Barbara Nutrients was a proud sponsor of the FASEB PKD Conference this year

Why are we sponsoring PKD conferences?

Being a sponsor at conferences and PKD events aligns with our purpose at Santa Barbara Nutrients. As a benefit corporation, part of our mission is to work together with our community to educate, promote research, raise awareness about PKD and kidney disease, and empower patients to advocate for their health.  Sponsorships allow us to do all of the above, as well as share our novel science-based approaches and research findings.

This significant international conference featured the latest research and brought together nephrologists and renal scientists from around the world.  This year, the conference focused on hurdles and advances in molecular mechanisms and therapies for polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
