| About us
|
| The D’Amico
Foundation for Kidney Research has been founded in December 2004 by Professor Giuseppe
D'Amico and his wife Anna Maria Allegri to develop the research and educational activities
previously carried out by the "Associazione per l’Aggiornamento e la Ricerca in
Nefrologia e Metodiche Dialitiche", where Professor Giuseppe D’Amico, for
30 years, has been the President and the Leader. |
| |
| As it
clearly comes from the name of the Foundation, its principal aim is research in
Nephrology. To accomplish this specific aim, the Foundation finances the
activities of experimental and clinical research of
the Renal Research Laboratory, carried out by
personnel belonging to the Foundation. |
| |
|
Other institutional aims of the D’Amico Foundation are educational
and training activities, and scientific
dissemination in Nephrology, Dialysis, and Renal Transplantation. |
| |
| The D'Amico
Foundation belongs to two University Research Consortia: |
| CORIPREMEND
- Consortium for Research, Prevention and Treatment of Endocrine and
Metabolic Diseases |
| CONSORZIO
M.I.A., Consortium for Development of Microscopy and Image Analysis in
Biomedical and Tecnological Sciences. |
| |
| Thanks
to an official agreement with Fondazione IRCCS "Ospedale Maggiore,
Policlinico, Mangiagalli e Regina Elena", the new Renal Research
Laboratory has been created, and will be fully operative in the Summer 2008. |
