KidGen are honoured to receive funding through the Genomics Health Futures Mission (GHFM), who have invested in genomics research under the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).

This project will use advanced genomic sequencing, data analysis and functional genomic techniques to provide better diagnostic outcomes for patients with genetic kidney disease. The project looks to provide patients with advanced genomic sequencing and re-analysis of genomic data.

This project is funded to mid-2026.

Ethically approved through the Royal Children’s Hospital HREC/83945/RCHM-2022
