The aim of this project is to establish a kidney organoid model to study complement activation in acute kidney injury. The model will first be optimized in terms of complexity and structure. Once established the kidney organoids will be used for co-culture experiments with immune cells, a hypoxia model of acute kidney injury and studies of the complement system. The development of the renal organoid model will contribute to the understanding of signalling pathways and therapeutic strategies.
