The European Kidney Patients’ Federation (EKPF) and the TTVguideTX project are excited to announce two webinars taking place in February 2025. These sessions will explore cutting-edge advancements in kidney transplant care and the ethical challenges of clinical trials, aiming to engage both kidney patients and the general public.
What is TTVguideTX?
TTVguideTX is an EU-funded initiative focused on enhancing kidney transplant care through innovative, personalized medicine. By leveraging the Torque Teno Virus (TTV) as a biomarker for immune system monitoring, the project seeks to optimize immunosuppressive drug therapy, reducing risks of infection and graft rejection.
