BacToKidney - Hope through Research.


Goal:

  • Use designer bacteria to replace a hemodialysis machine to remove (filter out) toxic waste for treating kidney failure.


Why is it an interesting problem?

  • 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.
