KPMP recently published "A reference tissue atlas for the human kidney" in Science Advances. This seminal KPMP publication describes the consortium's work toward KPMP aims to create a kidney atlas in health and disease. Such an atlas can identify critical cells, pathways, and targets for novel therapies and preventive strategies.
KPMP Clinical-Pathological-Molecular correlation (CPMC) serves to coordinate and identify compelling individual cases that highlight the advances of KPMP to clinically focused communities.
Kidney News, American Society of Nephrology's (ASN) monthly news magazine, featured KPMP in their April edition.
In a collaborative effort, several investigators across the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) consortium have detailed the first steps toward building a reference tissue atlas for the human kidney. This pre-print is available in bioRxiv. The goals of KPMP are to ethically obtain and evaluate kidney biopsies from participants with AKI, CKD or reference groups; to define disease subgroups; to identify critical cells, pathways, and targets for novel therapies; and to create a kidney tissue atlas.
KPMP investigators recently published "A Participant-Centered Approach to Understanding Risks and Benefits of Participation in Research Informed by the Kidney Precision Medicine Project" in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD). The purpose of the paper is to describe of the types of benefits that may be important to research participants, including respecting pluralistic values, supporting the opportunity to act altruistically, and enhancing benefits to a participant’s community.
Several of our investigators are sharing KPMP information and data at virtual Kidney Week this year
The Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) is proud to announce the release of the Atlas Explorer Tool (https://atlas.kpmp.org/explorer/), This tool allows you to search by marker gene, cell type, or data type to view summary data visualizations across the various KPMP 'omics' technologies.
A few times a year, KPMP sends letters to our enrolled participants to update them about study progress. Click here to read our Summer 2021 update letter.
KPMP investigators Jonathan Himmelfarb and Katherine Tuttle discuss the project in the June "Annals on Call" podcast.

Patient engagement is at the core of KPMP. The recently published article "Integrating Patient Priorities with Science by Community Engagement in the Kidney Precision Medicine Project" summarizes the accomplishments of the CEC, and the importance of integrating the patient voice in research design. Here, members of the CEC provide insight on the paper's importance, and what participation in KPMP means to them.
KPMP Investigators describe a "follow the tissue" pipeline for generating a reliable and authentic single cell/region 3D molecular atlas of human adult kidney.
KPMP investigators recently published "Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Native Kidney Biopsy Complications" in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN).
Nature Reviews Nephrology November issue is a focus issue on precision medicine in nephrology. The issue features publications from KPMP investigators, including our recent ontology paper and patient editorial.
