Hi @kathleenla, and welcome to Connect. You'll see that I moved your message about a bioartifical kidney to this discussion that @gregsr started a while back. He, too, is excited about the possibility of this innovation.

Here's the link to the UCSF website that Kathleen refers https://pharm.ucsf.edu/kidney The frequently asked questions page for patients is particularly informative https://pharm.ucsf.edu/kidney/device/faq

Kathleen, What is your interest in the project? Do you have kidney disease?

Hello, yes, I am indeed a kidney patient. I have been on dialysis previously, had a very successful transplant for 14 years and am now back on dialysis for the past 8 years. I received a personal response from Dr. Shivo and I am very encouraged. How about you?
