About us

The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) «Kidney.CH – Kidney Control of Homeostasis», is the world's first research network to explore physiological processes in healthy and diseased kidneys across a broad thematic spectrum.

The long-term objective of our national research network is to advance knowledge and understanding of the renal homeostatic mechanisms controlling body composition in health and disease. Knowledge and technology transfer as well as the education of the next generation of scientists and promotion of women are essential features and give this long-term research project strategic importance.
