Our charity partners
Kidney Research UK
As the leading kidney research charity in the UK, the charity has an urgent mission to end kidney disease. It is a disease that affects three million people in the UK and the numbers are growing. It ruins and destroys lives and must be stopped. Treatments can be gruelling and currently there is no cure. Only research will end this.
“We understand the importance of exploring health-data to find new approaches to prevent, diagnose and manage kidney disease better. These new awards are a fantastic way to provide masters’ students with the opportunity to carry out data science research and to help improve the care and outcomes of those living with and at risk of kidney disease,” Aisling McMahon, Executive Director of Research
