Developing a stem cell based therapy to replace nephrons lost through reflux nephropathy

The KIDSTEM objective is to investigate the properties of several different stem cell types (kidney stem cells, embryonic stem cells, amniotic fluid stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells) to determine which is most appropriate for the generation of functional renal tissue promoted by specifically designed biomaterials.

KIDSTEM offers a unique multidisciplinary training programme, with each Partner running a residential laboratory-based workshop that will provide both the experienced and early stage KIDSTEM researchers with practical training in the latest biomedical research techniques.
