Northwest Clinics Hospital, The Netherlands

www.nwz.nl

RRI has collaborated with Dr. Lars Penne in various research projects and he has been a visiting scientist at RRI focusing in areas of hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration. Dr. Penne is affiliated with Northwest Clinics which is a top clinical hospital, providing more than the customary specialty medical care, and covering several regions in The Netherlands; Alkmaar, Den Helder, Heerhugowaard, Limmen, Schagen and Texel. The clinics serve a population of more than 600,000. Northwest Clinics stands for good quality of service and care, in consequence its patients count with the best treatment possible under all conditions. Routine procedures are organized quickly and effectively. Chronic illnesses receive the guidance and continuity of care that they need, close to home.

Pontifical Catholic University of Parana (PUCPR)

www.pucpr.br

RRI and Pontificia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR, Brazil) collaborate on a wide range of projects. Since 2011, PUCPR has been a RRI partner in basic and clinical research projects. The basic research projects emphasize renal anemia and mechanisms that can prolong the erythrocyte lifespan positively on the patient's quality of life. The clinical research projects are focused on hemodialysis, related to the HDFit initiative and peritoneal dialysis studies. PUCPR is currently the coordinator center of the PD-MONDO initiative, one of the world's largest PD cohorts. The exchange of master's and doctorate students between institutions has been essential in strengthening the partnership.

For this purpose, we design and analyze efficient numerical methods. We utilize model-order reduction (ROM) in order to replace complex dynamical systems by low-dimensional ones with certified error control. ROM enables us to calibrate and optimize models given by systems of partial differential equation models.
