The FRIGG project team aims to model the early stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). In collaboration with their industry partners from AstraZeneca, Nordic Bioscience and Novo Nordisk, they will use fresh human kidney tissue to identify new biomerkers and therapeutic targets.

On this page, you can find all of the news from ODIN, which is related to the FRIGG project. If you are curious about the project and would like to know more, please contact Heads of the project Lene N. Nejsum or Rikke Nørregaard.

FRIGG is short for "FResh Human KIdney Tissue: ExplorinG biomarkers and intervention tarGets in chronic kidney disease"
