Funded Activity Summary

The project aims to develop a new non-invasive diagnostic method to detect patients with early CKD, a major health burden that is mainly driven by obesity and diabetes. It will specifically determine whether exfoliated tubular cells in the urine reflect kidney disease progression and hence provide a proof of concept on whether our newly developed hyperspectral technique can be used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to identify patients with kidney disease.
