| Gene Therapy Center for Hereditary Renal Diseases |
 |
Two physicians of our staff are currently
undergoing training in gene therapy in the USA and one of our
scientists started a Sabbatical at the Hadassah Gene Therapy
Center. We plan to create a center for hereditary renal diseases
with an emphasis on the kidney disease in the Kurdish community.
Members of the Kurdish community similarly to the Kochin community,
show very high incidence of renal diseases progressing to end-stage
renal failure. This center will be a sub-unit of the Hadassah
Center for Gene Therapy.
