San Francisco Emeriti and Retired Faculty Association (UCSF ERFA) cordially
invites UCR emeriti and retirees to join the livestream via Zoom of guest
speaker Shuvo Roy, PhD, presenting on “Bioartificial Kidney for Patients” on Thursday,
October 16, 2025 from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. via Zoom.<br>
<br>
Chronic kidney failure affects over 800,000 Americans and directly costs
Medicare almost $50 billion annually. While kidney transplant is the gold
standard treatment, the severe shortage of donors means the vast majority of
patients rely on dialysis. To overcome the morbidity and mortality associated
with dialysis, Dr. Roy and his lab are developing a bioartificial kidney that
will be mass-manufacturable and available to all patients who need one. The
device is intended to be totally implanted without any external connections
as well as operate under blood pressure and without immunosuppression.</span></p>
