Collaborators

Team members include scientists, engineers, and clinicians from across the United States who bring together the biological, engineering, medical, and manufacturing expertise needed to create the bioartificial kidney. They work in small private businesses and in labs at:

• University of California, San Francisco
• Cleveland Clinic
• Ohio State University
• Pennsylvania State University
• University of Michigan
• Case Western Reserve University

Patient Advisory Council (PAC)

Patient input and engagement lie at the heart of The Kidney Project’s work. Our Patient Advisory Council (PAC) brings together patient-advocates and caregivers from across the kidney disease spectrum and around the country. PAC members work closely with our researchers in the areas of patient preferences, research participation, advocacy and community outreach.

About UCSF

The home base of The Kidney Project is the University of California, San Francisco, which is known worldwide as an institution that attacks biomedical problems with the kind of interdisciplinary zeal required to carry forward an effort this bold.
