Approximately 1.3 million people globally have chronic kidney failure that requires either renal transplantation or dialysis - for such patients, the established treatment is hemodialysis
The mortality rate of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis remains unacceptably high.
An extremely high morbidity and a relatively low quality of life (due in part to a high level of dependence and unemployment) and high cost have also been observed.

How our project is divided:

pH Sensor
- A sensor of proton concentration (pH)
Attachment
- An Attachment anchor that attaches to the small intestine
Clearance of Urea
- A Urea clearance device
Clearance of Phosphate
- A Phosphate clearance and balance device
Clearance of Guanidine
- A Guanidine clearance device
Time Regulation
- Enables detachment from the small intestine after a certain amount of time
- Experimenting with two systems:
  - Cyanoxilator: A tuneable cyanobacterial natural (sinusoidal) oscillator implemented in E. coli.
  - Reloxilator: A tuneable intracell-synchronized relaxation oscillator.
