Dear KPMP Participant,

‍

The KidneyPrecision Medicine Project (KPMP) would not happen without heroes like you.Your willingness to be part of research, not for personal benefit but for the greater good, is having a big impact. Thank you!

KPMP is committed to identifying new kidney disease types and treatments for the various kinds of kidney diseases. And your contributions to KPMP are helping to make that happen!

Scientists are learning more by using your de-identified data in their research. Since March of2023, there have been 20,000+ data downloads of the KPMP Atlas data.
At the recent All-KPMP meeting, Dr. Jonathan Himmelfarb reported on the dramatic increase in the use of data in the KPMP Atlas.
