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. 🧡

The average wait time for a kidney transplant is 5 years, and nearly 815,000 Americans are living with ESRD. The Kidney Project is working to change that—bringing hope and innovation to patients in need. 🧡
