14 Μαρ 2023 · Discoveries: How would you characterize the problems the implantable bioartificial kidney, termed iBAK, seeks to solve? Fissell: Our end goal is a bioengineered, mass-produced, universal-donor kidney to overcome the scarcity problem in kidney transplant. Full stop.
Dr. William H. Fissell of Vanderbilt University holds a prototype artificial kidney cartridge. Treating patients with hemodialysis is costing us a fortune and leaving us sick. To answer this need, since 1998 we have worked to create an implantable artificial kidney.
The implantable artificial kidney uses human kidney cells from organs donated for transplantation, but which were later found to be unusable due to scarring. We culture regenerated cells from these failed transplants.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center nephrologist and Associate Professor of Medicine Dr. William H. Fissell IV, is making major progress on a first-of-its kind device to free kidney patients from dialysis. He is building an implantable artificial kidney with microchip filters and living kidney cells that will be powered by a patient’s own heart.
11 Ιουλ 2013 · Nephrologist William Fissell IV, M.D., associate professor of Medicine and Biomedical Engineering, is intent on creating and mass-producing an implantable bioartificial kidney that can transform quality of life and prospects for survival for people with chronic kidney disease who would otherwise be forced onto dialysis.
12 Φεβ 2016 · Vanderbilt University Medical Center nephrologist and Associate Professor of Medicine Dr. William H. Fissell IV, is making major progress on a first-of-its kind device to free kidney patients from dialysis. He is building an implantable artificial kidney with microchip filters and living kidney cells that will be powered by a patient’s own heart.
Dr. Fissell's research group has focused on technology development to treat kidney failure. His team developed a completely novel biomimetic membrane for blood filtration that functions just like a kidney's filters, inside the body powered by the heart alone: no electric motors, no batteries.
