JUMPstart Renal Nutrition Therapy Program: Announcing our 2024/2025 Cohort Winner
Malaysian researcher wins research support for kidney nutrition study
This cohort of the JUMPstart Renal Nutrition Therapy program brought together 20 nephrologists and diabetologists from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Participants tackled a speed research challenge, built global connections, and deepened their understanding of renal nutrition therapy.
“When I found out I was the winner of JUMPstart, I was very overwhelmed with my emotions. I definitely didn’t believe it,” said Wan Daud. During her winner presentation, she emphasized a holistic view of patient care – not only focusing on clinical outcomes, but on the broader well-being of patients. “This is why I started my journey in the first place: I’m here for my patients. JUMPstart is not just a program. It’s a transformation.”

The JUMPstart Renal Nutrition Therapy Program is designed to support early-career healthcare professionals in exploring how nutritional strategies can improve outcomes for people living with chronic kidney disease.
