This Project Grant award of $306,873 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) aims to develop an AI-driven automated system for accurately generating Banff lesion scores from kidney biopsy slides. The project, titled "BANFF-AID: BANFF Automated Nephrology Feature Framework - Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis", will create custom AI models to extract essential features from biopsy slides and provide continuous, explainable Banff lesion scores. This will reduce subjectivity and variability in the current manual evaluation process, potentially increasing the utilization of viable donor kidneys. The project will initially focus on arteriosclerosis, glomerulosclerosis, and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, with plans to expand to computing multiple Banff lesion scores from various stains. Key sub-awardees include the University of Alberta, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Emory University, and the University of Pittsburgh, who will contribute specialized expertise in medical research, computational imaging, and AI development.
