New series launch - The pioneers of nephrology

In this remarkable new series, BMC Nephrology Section Editor, Dr. Giorgina Piccoli interviews many of the pioneers of nephrology. With the help of Dr. Bernard Jaar, the interviews we have selected for this series look beyond the many achievements and successes of these giants, as we aim to pass on to future generations the idea of how they were, and why they were passionate about their field. We aim to publish a new interview each month, and we hope you enjoy reading these.
