Almost all kidney failure in children is caused by rare kidney diseases – but a disconnected translational pathway means new treatments don’t often reach those who need it.  

This centre aims to bring transformational change to rare kidney disease research. Its ambitious goals include a clinical trial for a treatment that could cut kidney failure by a third, a new national biobank, and a collaboration to bring all affected children in the UK into the same research network.  

Initially focusing on childhood kidney diseases, the centre later hopes to connect with adult conditions and act as a model for other rare diseases.
