DC-ren 

R&D project ’DC-ren: Drug combinations for rewriting trajectories of renal pathologies in type II diabetes’ - Optimizing treatment of diabetic kidney disease using computer models.
 
Diabetic kidney diseases are the main cause of kidney failure in industrialized countries. An international, EU-funded R&D project – headed by the Medical University of Innsbruck, and involving collaboration with the Medical University of Vienna and international partners – aims to use computer software to provide personalized predictions of the disease’s progression and bring improvements in individuals’ responses to treatment. Project findings will have the potential for application also in other chronic diseases.
