Kidney researchers at MedTechLabs awarded and recognised
2022 is not over and already several researchers at the centre's project "Optical 3D microscopy for more effective treatment of kidney diseases" have enjoyed good success.
Via 3D microscopy, the filtration structure of the kidney, the 200–500 nanometre wide podocyte foot processes, are visualised with light microscopy (left image). This enables simple automatic analysis and quantification of the health condition of the kidney (images right), with possible application within clinical renal diagnostics.
In March it was announced that Hannes Olauson (KI/KS) and David Unnersjö-Jess (KTH/KI) were among the 49 researchers who received the Kidney Fund’s allocated funds for 2021. Read more here

Robin Ebbestad (KI/Danderyd Hospital) has received a grant from the Stig and Gunborg Westman Foundation for research on kidney diseases, organ transplantation and organ donation, for his project on 3D kidney biopsy.
