Cathy Yeung: The Little Kidney-On-A-Chip That Could

In this episode, we’re joined by Cathy Yeung, an Associate Professor at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy, to explore the intersection of drug development, kidney health, and space science. Cathy shares her unexpected journey from studying English to being a key investigator of cutting-edge kidney-on-a-chip research that uses human cells to better predict how medication metabolizes in the body. We dive into how her team’s research supports safer drug testing, reduces reliance on animal studies, and helps scientists understand kidney function in microgravity through collaborations with NASA.---Hosted by Shawn LinamProduced and edited by Sicily Seitz---Supported by Qwaltec---Find In Her Orbit on:InstagramLinkedInFacebook
