📢 Don't miss @IEMichelakis and @Sarahfawwaz today at #ERA26.
Head over to Focussed Oral Room 11 to hear some of the latest research supported by QUOD Biobank.
If you're attending #ERA26 this week, don't miss some of the latest kidney transplantation research supported by QUOD Biobank.
@IEMichelakis and @Sarahfawwaz will present findings from their research, which used QUOD samples, on Thursday 4 June.
This #IND2026, QUOD Biobank thanks all the Specialist Nurses in Organ Donation (SNODs) who work with us across the UK.
Our SNODs take the first step towards sample collection for our biobank to support vital research into organ donation and chronic disease.
A huge well done to QUOD Biobank researcher, Rebecca Vaughan, who joined Kidney Research UK's #TeamKidney for their March March event to raise funds for kidney research.

Can you help researchers better understand the impact of waiting for a transplant?
If you are over 18, in the UK, and currently on the solid organ transplant waiting list, Kings would be very grateful if you could take part in our 10-15 minute survey.

Congratulations to @mohelzawahry, who presented his research on "Metabolomic profiling of pancreas grafts preserved by oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion" in the prestigious Medawar Medal session today at #BTSCongress.
We are proud to have supported this project.
#BTSCongress 2026 has officially begun, and the QUOD Biobank team is excited to be here.
We’re looking forward to engaging with the latest research, strengthening existing collaborations, and building new connections across the transplant community.
The #BTSCongress is just around the corner.
We look forward to the @BTStransplant Innovation Competition 2026 in partnership with @LLTGL and QUOD, as well as hearing from QUOD researchers.
