In Australia, 11.3% of deaths are associated with chronic kidney disease with >$1 billion per annum spent on treating this condition. Kidney function throughout life depends upon what happened during your foetal development as all the functional units of the kidney are made prior to birth. In this project, we will use our understanding of normal kidney development to develop new regenerative approaches to the treatment of this condition.

在澳大利亚，11.3%的死亡与慢性肾脏疾病有关，每年用于治疗这种疾病的费用为10亿美元。整个生命过程中的肾脏功能取决于胎儿发育期间发生的事情，因为肾脏的所有功能单位都是在出生前制造的。在这个项目中，我们将利用我们对正常肾脏发育的理解来开发新的再生方法来治疗这种疾病。
