Impacting the future of KUH research through personalized, integrated, and immersive training.
Interdisciplinary Training Program
Kidney, Urology, & Non-Malignant Hematology
PRIME is an interdisciplinary initiative to bring together Kidney, Urology, and non-malignant Hematology researchers and scholars from across the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Tulane University (TU), and Augusta University (AU). KUH PRIME works to develop a fully integrated, interdisciplinary network of pre- and post-doctoral trainees in KUH research. We will do so by building on our long-standing and successful track record of training KUH researchers to create a community of scholars that are both inter-disciplinary and inter-connected, bringing together trainees at all levels and consolidating training activities across the UAB, TU, and AU training ecosystem.
