About the Renal Research Institute

From its inception in 1997, the Renal Research Institute (RRI) has been an innovation hub, embracing diversity and an interdisciplinary approach to research. Our team includes some of the brightest minds from around the world, who, along with their disciplinary expertise, bring a deep understanding of global issues and challenges.

Our leadership in AI, computational medicine, and data analytics, as well as our access to a large patient population, accelerates the pace of scientific discoveries and their translation into applied medicine.

We embrace a cross-functional mindset, bringing together physicians, data scientists, mathematicians, engineers, theoretical physicists, analysts—all united by one purpose: to translate groundbreaking research and science into transformative clinical care.

We are structured for broad participation in all our research because the problems and questions we deal with are too complex to be seen through one lens only. RRI not only fosters research within the global framework of Fresenius Medical Care, we collaborate across 48 countries, with over 500 academic partnerships fueling our reach and relevance. RRI is an annual destination for dozens of visiting scientists with innovative ideas who contribute to the non-dogmatic and creative environment that is so critical to progress.

As an organization committed to the open exchange of ideas, a multi-channel communication strategy is central to our mission and to our relationships with our partners. Public discourse and our active participation in international meetings not only keep the kidney community informed but also spark new ideas and deepen our collaborations and our impact.
