UKRO

Our Story

The University Kidney Research Organization (UKRO) was founded to address a critical question: why is so little known about kidney disease, a condition that affects millions? After entertainment lawyer Ken Kleinberg faced kidney failure, he and physician Dr. Vito Campese established UKRO to fund groundbreaking research aimed at eradicating kidney disease. Partnering with USC, UKRO created the USC/UKRO Kidney Research Center, dedicated to developing a revolutionary synthetic kidney derived from stem cells.

Impact

UKRO is at the forefront of transforming lives through innovative kidney research. The team recently published groundbreaking findings in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, revealing a new mechanism for kidney tissue repair and regeneration, paving the way for effective regeneration therapies.
