The format of ISN’s Nexus Symposia is uniquely tailored to focus on important new information and advances in a specific field of clinical relevance. These symposia strongly support the translational approach to disease management and have a clear objective of providing physicians with new insights and hands-on information that they can instantly apply.

The ISN Nexus Symposia format allows for focused and in-depth discussions, networking and exchange of ideas among scientists and physicians who recognize the luxury of focusing on one specific topic that has strong clinical relevance. The translational nature of the content is amplified by an inter-speciality approach which provides an additional viewpoint and increased appreciation and understanding of the complexities of a disease.

ISN Nexus Symposia bridge the gap between basic research and clinical practice and offer a profound focus on translational medicine and clinical application. The 2012 topic highlights include:

• Bone-kidney axis and vascular calcification
• Renal and intestinal divalent ion transport
