Chronic Kidney Disease and New Avenues of Treatment

Context

One in three patients in intensive care has serious renal insufficiency, which significantly increases the risk of death. In the long term, 20% of these patients will develop a chronic kidney disease that will majorly impact their daily life.
The connection between the condition of serious renal insufficiency and developing a chronic kidney disease is an important subject in today’s research.

Project

This project consists of developing a two-year translational research program to identify risk factors at the cellular level of developing a chronic kidney disease.
