Affiliate professor Jonathan Himmelfarb is collaborating with Matthias Kretzler (University of Michigan) as co-Principal Investigators for two new awards totaling $30.8 million from NIH’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP). KPMP is an ambitious, multi-year collaboration of more than 40 leading research institutions across the United States to create a kidney tissue atlas that will help understand the mechanisms of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), define new disease subgroups, and identify cell states and pathways for new therapeutic targets.
