This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will fund research to develop an AI-assisted system for interpreting kidney biopsy images to reduce inappropriate organ discards. The $1,470,094 award to New York University School of Medicine aims to: (1) construct a comprehensive atlas of kidney biopsy histopathology using self-supervised and expert-supervised deep learning techniques, (2) develop and validate AI-assisted biopsy interpretation models and compare them to standard clinical practice, and (3) develop consensus on implementing the AI-assisted system in clinical transplant evaluation. This research seeks to improve the utility of preimplantation kidney biopsies and facilitate more appropriate utilization of donor kidneys, reducing unnecessary discards and improving outcomes for transplant recipients.
