The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

DIREKT: Disarming The Intravascular Innate Immune Response To Improve Modalities For Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$362,830.00
Summary
Dialysis is the mainstay treatment for patients with end-stage kidney disease while they await transplantation. However, the dialysis process causes inflammation in patients, affecting their health and longevity. This project aims to develop new bioreagents that can be applied to dialysis devices to reduce inflammation and thus improve patient outcomes. These bioreagents will also be used to modify donor kidneys so that they are protected from inflammation associated with transplantation.
