The PICKED project focuses on training 10 doctoral candidates across Europe in developing innovative approaches for personalized medicine targeting chronic kidney disease (CKD). Given the massive and growing impact of CKD on global health, PICKED aims to provide DCs with interdisciplinary skills to advance detection, progression monitoring, and treatment interventions for CKD. With a collaborative consortium of 10 beneficiaries and 8 associated partners spanning 7 countries, this program equips DCs with cutting-edge skills across biomarker research, bioinformatics, legal, ethical, and quality-of-life considerations to address CKD's unmet needs in personalized healthcare​
