Brief description In Australia, chronic kidney disease costs >$1 billion per annum and can only be treated by dialysis or transplantation. Your kidney function depends upon what happened during your development as all the functional units of the kidney are made prior to birth from a stem cell population that then disappears. We have found a way to recreate these stem cells from adult cells. In this project, we will optimise this process and investigate whether regenerated stem cells can repair an adult kidney.
