Mission

The NU-USC O'Brien Kidney Resource Center brings together expertise from the physical sciences and kidney research to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation. By adapting advanced theories, technologies, platforms, and analytical approaches from the physical sciences, we develop new ways to address complex challenges in kidney biology and disease.

Our mission is to:

• Advance kidney research by applying cutting-edge physical science methods to solve unmet scientific and clinical challenges.
• Expand access to innovation by providing researchers with state-of-the-art physical science tools, resources, and expertise that support groundbreaking kidney research.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the NU-USC O'Brien Kidney Resource Center serves as a hub where scientists can access the technologies and knowledge needed to drive the next generation of discoveries in kidney health and disease.
