Our Research

Research work is/has been funded in the departments of Organ Transplantation, Urology and Nephrology, at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital (RLUH) and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital as well as occasional support of relevant work in certain departments of The University of Liverpool.

Kidney Research Northwest has been helped greatly by the joining of all services on the campus of the Royal Liverpool University Hospital (RLUH). KRNW have rooms within the premises of the University of Liverpool’s, Cancer Research Centre providing all necessary support facilities. KRNW research is usually carried out by medically qualified personnel who have already acquired specialist qualifications. Most will obtain a Masters or Doctorate as a result of their work and proceed to Consultant posts in the NHS. Many of our former research fellows are now Directors of their own specialist department. KRNW pays for salaries and costs of research fellows during their normal tenure of two or three years.

Research project applications are submitted to KRNW and are considered by our Scientific Sub Committee, and our Board of Trustees before funding is given.
