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.
