TRENAL (“Translational kidney research – from physiology to clinical application”) is an interdisciplinary network project that aims at leveraging the achievements of basic kidney research and translating them into novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. TRENAL unites nephrologists, physiologists, nephropathologists and basic researchers from FAU, Yale University, University College London (UCL) and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Light (MPL). TRENAL is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
The call for different TRENAL mobility grants is now open:
