Treatments for glomerulonephritis that harness antigen specific regulatory cells [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Joshua Ooi (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Arthur Kitching

Brief description Many forms of kidney disease are caused by the immune system targeting the kidney. We now have new data that demonstrate that these forms of autoimmune glomerulonephritis are caused by an imbalance in the numbers of kidney specific inflammatory versus regulatory cells. This project seeks to test therapies that correct that imbalance by increasing the numbers of kidney specific regulatory cells.
