One of our biggest challenges is making the bioartificial kidney small and efficient enough to work inside the body. By mimicking the kidney’s own slit-shaped filters with advanced MEMS technology — bringing us closer to a compact, implantable kidney that could transform lives.🧡

Many believe a kidney transplant is a quick solution. The truth is, the waitlist is long, and thousands of patients don’t get the kidney they need in time. That’s why The Kidney Project is working toward a bioartificial kidney—to offer hope beyond the waitlist. 🧡
