Implantable Artificial Kidney Development Receives $6M NIH Grant

Wow! Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Wiliam Fissell IV, MD is the co-PI) and the University of California at San Francisco (bioengineer Shuvo Roy, PhD is the co-PI) have teamed up to develop an implantable artificial kidney. The project, in the works for more than a decade, has been fast-tracked by the FDA, and will use silicon nanotechnology and cell culture.
