Kidney & Psychosocial Research Lab

Understanding life beyond kidney disease.

KiPsy Lab is an interdisciplinary research space dedicated to exploring the psychological, social and relational dimensions of kidney disease across the life course.

“Everyone has a story; they are not merely kidneys with legs.”

Why we exist

Kidney disease shapes everyday life - far beyond medical treatment.

We listen to patients, families and clinicians, and translate their experiences into evidence that improves psychosocial care across the disease trajectory.
