Last weekend, Team Vera attended #SPARK2024, a symposium organized by and for patients with #IgANephropathy through The IgA Nephropathy Foundation. Alongside the #IgAN community of patients and caregivers, we learned about individual experiences and what it means to live with this rare disease. Hear from our Founder and CEO, Marshall Fordyce, M.D., to learn more about key themes from the conference and why this is the highlight of our year. Vera is dedicated to incorporating insights from patients to develop treatments designed to improve patient outcomes and overall quality of life. 

Team Vera is thrilled to be at #SPARK2024 in Austin, Texas, July 26-28. We look forward to joining patients, clinicians, scientists, and educators to support the advancement of treatment for #IgANephropathy (#IgAN). Come check out our table at the conference and connect with the broader kidney disease community. We look forward to seeing you there!
