Researchers: Prof Philip O'Connell (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Guoping Zheng ,  Dr Shane Grey ,  Prof David Harris

Brief description We have identified a 13 gene set that predicts renal transplant fibrosis and graft loss in patients. Interestingly some of these gene are donor as well as recipient related. In this project we aim to investigate these gene pathways in cell lines and animal models to better understand how the cause of renal fibrosis after transplantation.
