The aim of the KidDO project was bipartite: First, the team identifed metabolites that can predict progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Second, they also studied how the interplay between metabolites and proeteins within the kidneys drive this progression.
The KidDO project (2021-2023) used both human CKD biopsies and rodent models and they identified a numer of metabolites and genes that were universially altered across all models in CKD. The KidDO team was multidisciplinary combining expertise within areas such as animal disease models, omics, computer science and drug delivery. The output of the project was the devleopment of a largescale database that can help researchers integrate metabolic and proteomic knowledge.
On this page you can can watch a video recorded at the beginning of the project. You can also read an article on the output of the project and you can find lists of project participants and articles published by the KidDO team.
We unite right minds from industry and academia so that they can jointly create need-driven research projects - and pave the way for innovative new treatments in the future. Through competitive funding calls, we fund the best projects ideas. Although companies cannot receive funding, it is free of charge to join.
The 5-year platform is sponsored by the Novo Nordisk Foundation with 180 M DKK from 2024-2028.
